Here is how my rough draft of my intended magazine cover turned out. In general, most of my ideas from the previous post are included in the rough draft. However, I added a couple of things. To start, our group came up with the slogan "Explore Your True Style" and decided to place it into the banner. We decided that this would be a good slogan because many people develop their own sense of style during their teenage years, and since our fashion magazine is directed towards teens, they are exposed to different styles in our magazine. Additionally, there was space on the right side of my magazine and I felt that it looked too empty, so I want to put something in there as a sweet spot. I'm currently not sure what specifically to put in it yet, but it might have something to do with a petition, an animal shelter, or a thrift store. One last change to my cover involves the model. Our group had no luck finding a teen male that wanted to be a model for our magazine, so we decided to just pick a girl instead. My intended model's name is Alexa, and I feel like she's a good candidate for my magazine because she looks very youthful and personally loves teen fashion and the environment.

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 format, I needed to know what I'm going to specifically write my article about. I already established the idea that it will be about fast fashion and it's popularity with teens, but that's about it. However, after deep thought, I came up with the perfect idea. Going way back to when I was conducting the photo shoot with Alexa, I chose her because she cared about the environment and I thought she would've been a good role model to my teen audience. With that being said, it would be hard to show that she is a role model without my audience knowing about her. In order to do so, I decided that my main article is going to be about Alexa and her shopping habits. To get this information, I am going come up with questions to ask her in an interview. I then plan on explaining in my article the good habits she has and the one's she needs to improve on and why each is important to help the audience understand why they need to adopt such habits.

After deciding on our magazine title, we needed to chose a common house style to represent our magazine. My group mates decided to mess around with the fonts and colors on an app called PicsArt and produced example cover pages to show what the house style would look like on it. Personally, I liked the color red as the main color in our title because it grabs the reader's attention. It would also go good with my specific magazine because my magazine will talk about the environmental impact of teen fashion, which will hopefully incorporate the color of green. I feel that the green and red will go good together. However, I feel that the font seems a bit tacky because of how curvy and fat it is. I think that we should choose a font that's more bold and sharp because it's more likely to draw attention from a potential buyer to our magazine. Additionally, I would prefer that the font is just red, rather than it being red and black. It again seems too tacky. I expressed t...
