Now that my group has decided on common fonts for our cover page, I was able to design my final cover page. Using the picture I chose and the puffs, headline, etc I created on my cover page sketch, I created my supposed to be final magazine cover.





However, while adding the puffs, etc to my picture, I encountered a number of problems. The biggest problems was with my headline and strap line. In the last post, our group decided to have the head line and strap lie black. However, The area I wanted to put my headline and strap line is was shaded, making it harder to see what it said. I couldn't move it to the bottom right, either, because it covered the Pacsun bag. Another problem was the fact that my model and props were so close to the frame, that I felt that there was not enough room to put my puffs and masthead in. I wanted them both to be bigger, but I could not make them as big as I wanted with the space I had with this photo. No matter how much I rearranged the puffs, mast head, slogan, and headline and strap line, either the formatting didn't look right or there was just not enough room. I think I am going to have to select a different photo for my cover page.

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...
