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 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...
