My friend Remy and I plan on taking photos this Sunday for both of our magazines. However, that is five days from now. Today I decided to draw out a plan for what my magazine cover will look like...

I plan on having my mast head at the top of the magazine, with my model directly below it. My model will be wearing trendy clothing with recognizable brands on them, such as Hollister or Tommy Hilfiger. The model will be holding an article of clothing in each hand, both of them also being name brand, over a trash can. I would prefer than my model is a girl because girls tend to go shopping for clothes more, but if I can't find a girl model I would be fine with a guy.

My headline will have something to do with fast fashion, but I'm not sure what it will specifically say yet. Here are some possible headline and strapline combo ideas for my magazine...

1) The Hidden Cost of Fashion
     And It's Hidden Effects On You

2) The Fast Effect of Fast Fashion
     It's Quicker Than You Think

3) The Terrible Trend of Today: Fast Fashion
    Staring Your Wardrobe

Personally, I like the third one the best, but I'm still experimenting with headlines and strap lines. As for cover lines, I would like to have three. In my cover page, I hope to incorporate a lot of green into it to help convey the message that this magazine is about the environment, but at the same time, I also want to incorporate pops of color that will draw my intended teenage audience in. I'm thinking about making my main background for the photo shoot either in the environment or in a mall or clothing store, with additional pops of colors in the buzzwords featured in my puffs. Tomorrow, I'm going to draw out some cover ideas to get a sense of what magazine cover would best suit my magazine.

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...
