Yesterday I took pictures for my cover page and main article at my group mate Remy's house. It was a great day to take pictures because it was cool outside and the skies were clear. We got together some shopping bags and clothing, dressed my model, Alexa, up, and went out to take some pictures.


 


These are the photos I took that are intended to be for the cover page. While taking these photos, I wanted Alexa to have a serious expression to emphasize that fast fashion isn't a good thing, and also to make the reader curious as to why she is so serious. While all the clothing in the photo shoot were name brand, it was hard to tell what brands they were, so I decided to incorporate some popular teen shopping bags. This helped emphasize that the clothes featured are from popular teen stores and may also help draw in potential readers. At first, I wanted Alexa to be wearing name brand clothing, but I realized that having her wear name brand clothing would provide a direct correlation to her supporting the fast fashion industry, so I made her wear a plain tee shirt. As for the setting, we tried to have it in different locations to be able to see what location was the best, but a big problem was lighting. It was hard to get the shadowy but still clear lighting I wanted because of where the sun was positioned during the time of the photo shoot. However, I think I managed to get some good shots. 

Personally, I think I'm going to use the last picture as my cover picture. I think that the framing is good enough to where I can visually see where I plan on putting my headline, sweet spot, etc. I also like how the model is looking away from the camera in that shot while a shadow is party covers her face. This provides a luring mode of address by making the model seem mysterious.

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...

Today I will be writing my article... One of the biggest ways teens keep up with the hottest trends is through fashion. Celebrities such as Kanye West and the Kardashians have sparked up trend after trend, which has caused a huge demand for popular clothing stores to keep up with. Although clothing companies have been doing a good job at supplying the demands from teens, a lot of people don't know that they are actually hurting the environment by buying from these mainstream companies. I spoke with a friend of mine about this issue to test how educated she was on this terrible trend called... fast fashion. SO WHAT EXACTLY IS FAST FASHION? "...Fast Fashion is the process of clothes being mass-produced... trends go in and out and the clothes that aren't sold are put into landfills", According to Alexa. She is right. Fast Fashion is the term used to describe clothing that is produced on a massive scale to reach demands from consumers, including teens. These clothin...
