GetAway Magazine is a magazine idea that is very possible to carry out in my opinion. It is a magazine that is meant to inspire ideas of where to travel through stories from real-life people and their photographs from places they enjoy. Each issue contains articles about new places to travel or updates on earlier articles. Each article is inspired by Instagram photos that people have submitted by using the hashtag #getawaymagazine. These photographs are put into use in the magazine through collages to introduce each place and to point out favorite aspects and specific spots to visit while there. Credit is given to the submissioner and it becomes exciting to get the next issue and see if your photograph has been used.
Travel advertisements often feature picture-perfect views of ideal vacation spots that have been tailored to the needs of the company. GetAway Magazine provides real life stories and pictures from travelers so that readers can get honest ideas and feedback. Through the use of Instagram it uses modern social media and channels it into an extremely useful outlet. Another advantage of this process is that the magazine feels more personal, and real favorite spots to go at each location can be featured.
