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.

After finishing my article, I wanted to take a picture to put in my article. I ideally wanted the picture to act as a visual for my readers to get an idea of what fast fashion looks like. However, I do not really have much access to factories, landfills, or polluted rivers, so I had to get creative. I remembered that I actually have a lot of old clothes that I do not wear from my "middle school days" but never got rid of. More importantly, a lot of these clothes were produced with fast fashion and contain logos of the companies on them. I wanted to make sure that the shot was close enough to where the reader could tell what brands the clothing was, but far enough to make it look as though there is an overwhelming amount of clothing. Because of these factors, I decided to go with a close up shot to capture my photo. As for the setting, I was definitely not going to take this photo outside because I did not want to get my clothes dirty.  I chose to take it on my wooden floor...
