Hi, my name is Alessandra Watkins and I will be documenting my journey in creating my very own magazine. I will be working in a group with my friends Remy, Derrick, and Cameron. After discussing different topics, we decided to base our magazines off of teen fashion because we are all teens and have had exposure to them. Additionally, we believe that teen fashion has a major interest to teens of today, which will help our physical magazine thrive in a currently dying industry. I specifically will be talking about the environment and the effects teen fashion has on it because climate change is a serious problem of today and the fashion industry is a big contributor to it. Teens need to be educated on this issue to help them make better choices when purchasing from fashion companies, which eventually may lead to companies switching to more sustainable business practices.

After looking at popular teen magazines I decided to look at popular environmental magazines to help incorporate both genres into my magazine cover's edition. Here are some covers I found... One common theme among environmental magazines talking specifically about environmental issues is that the anchorage is often really intense. The model is often staring at or away the reader with a serious, almost concerning look on their face. The model's expression often ties into the headline and strap line to deliver the idea that the content it very serious and dangerous. The colors that are used the most in the magazines i saw were green, blue and red. The greens and blues often represent the colors of the environment, and the reds are used to grab the readers attention in puffs, masthead, and headlines and to represent danger.

To conduct the interview, I first needed to come up with questions to ask Alexa. However, I had to take into account that teens do not have a long attention span, so having too many questions and responses in the article may bore them. Eventually, I came up with four concise questions to ask her... 1: What exactly is fast fashion? I chose to ask this first because not only does it lead into the topic I am discussing in my article, but it will also show how much Alexa truly knows about fast fashion. 2: Where do you normally shop for clothes? Since many teens normally shop for clothes in the mall or at outlets, I want to bring this question up to explain to the audience how where they shop directly impacts the environment. 3: Did you know that...? With this question, I wanted to pull up some statistics about fast fashion to get a reaction from not only her, but the audience as well. With this question in particular, I looked up "the effects of fast fashion" and based m...
