I've never been one to have my mind set on anything. I change my outfit five minutes before I leave the house and bring at least two different lip colours everywhere. There's only been one thing I've never wavered on and that's what I want to do with my life. Ever since people started seriously asking me what I wanted to do with my life, I'd always answer with "journalism".
Journalism just seemed like such an exciting industry to me. I loved the idea of being in a competitive environment that would force me out of my comfort zone on a daily basis. Admittedly it's a little daunting when I think about the dwindling job prospects of my future, but I couldn't imagine doing anything else with my life.
Ideally I'd love to work at a women's lifestyle magazine. There's such an extensive range of content such from beauty and fashion to celebrities and food as well as an array of elements which go into producing each issue. Some of my favourite women's magazines include Frankie and Yen.
What I love about these magazines is the unique style of them. They're not the typical glossy magazines with pictures of celebrity weight loss. They have substance and are more artistic and creative both visually and in content. In a way these publications have their own individual style. The origin of Frankie magazine is even described as a response to publisher Louise Bannister and creative director Lara Burke feeling "uninspired with what was being offered on news agency shelves".
In terms of what type of content I'd want to produce for a publication such as Frankie or Yen, I'm still undecided. As I've only recently started my journalism career I'm still learning different skills and haven't yet found one particular field of production that's whole-heartedly caught my fancy. However, I do enjoy design and feature writing and look forward to furthering my skills in that area.
