Today my group decided on our masthead name. Considering that our magazine is a teen magazine focused on fashion, we had to have a name that would have a cool sound to it. After thinking of possible names, I decided to chose the name "Impact." for it because i felt that our magazine had the power to "Impact." our audience significantly.


Sadly, I soon found out that that name was taken by another magazine...


We soon found out that there was a big problem; finding a good magazine name that wasn't already taken. After spending aproximately thirty minutes searching for titles that weren't already taken, my friend, Remy, came up with the name Off-The-Rack Magazine. We thought that the name was fitting because our magazine is based off of fashion, which is displayed on racks. Additionally, when you take something off the rack, it means that you like it, conveying the idea that our potential audience will love our magazines.


I thought that having the title as "Off-The-Rack" would be too long, so we decided to abbreviate it to "O-T-R" with the written our version displayed underneath in a smaller font size.

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...
