Don't forget Audience - Platform - Purpose

What is your dream/idea/goal? 

Once you have your goal, start to outline your questions about how to accomplish this goal.

  • What is required to travel to your foreign county?

Who is your target audience?

  • Young professional?
  • Children?
  • College student(s)?
  • Families/Parents?

How will your choice of platform help you reach your audience?

  • Memory. How have you already achieved your goal?
  • Graphic novel?
  • Article in a magazine? Which one?
  • Interview on a talk show? Which one?
  • Sesame Street?
