Tomorrow and Sunday, the plan is to go out with my group mate Remy and take photos for our cover page and main article. I have an picture idea for my cover page, but I need to think of a picture for my main article. We plan on taking the photos for my article and cover page. The setting will either be at the mall or at her house in her backyard. I feel that the mall is a good place to take photos because a lot of teen stores are in there and many of the stores in the mall are contributors to fast fashion, including Zara and H&M. However, I feel that taking the pictures at her house is better because it's more convenient for Remy and her backyard has greenery, so it will incorporate more colors into my cover and article. Having color is important to my magazine because our main audience are teens and they tend not to read a lot about the environmental impacts of most fashion stores, so having a colorful, trendy magazine color will be more likely to make them want to read it. Here are the two potential areas that will be used to shoot my photos for my cover and main article...


The first picture features a fence with trees in the background, while the second one features an open field. I plan to utilize both backgrounds; the former being for my cover page and the latter for my article picture. In a previous post I explained my plan for the picture on the cover page, but I have not yet explained my plans for the article picture. For my article picture, I plan for my model, Alexa, to lay down in the open field. Her arms and legs will be apart, while either shopping bags or clothes will be around her. I think this will be a good picture for my main article because it shows the shopping bags or clothes surrounding her, which creates a visual representation of how much clothes fashion companies pump out. This then correlates to how much waste can be produced when consumers decide to get rid of all their clothing. Some of the stuff I plan on talking about in my article will depend on how the picture turns out. Therefore, I will plan out my article after I take my pictures just in case things don't go as planned.

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...
