Description

This Forward Feed Magazine – Alcohol is a Dangerous Drug Issue is targeted prevention made for High School teens and college students.

The Problems Facing Prevention Education

Reaching young people with effective prevention information is a tricky business. Digitally delivered content is often ignored. Social media advertising is easy to miss and traditional broadcast media is difficult to produce as well as expensive to deploy. So what do you do? Reason dictates that placing information directly into the hands of young people is an effective way to ensure that at least an alcohol prevention impression is made. But will they read it?

Our Solution

We created Forward Feed Magazine with your high school and college aged young people in mind. Our idea was to use a magazine style format coupled with cutting edge design. Then filled with images of “relatable” teens. All packed together with just the right amount of alcohol prevention information to help change the attitudes and opinions of its readers.

We took great pains in developing and designing the content so that the main prevention message of each section is clearly identifiable at first glance. Bold headlines and main ideas take precedence. Readers may “drill down” for greater detail and nuance. The design utilizes large, bold images, as well as a small text to image ratio to encourage reading.

Every #FWDFEED: Alcohol is a Dangerous Drug Magazine includes the following information on:
