The final step of creating my table of contents is to take a picture for it. I plan on putting it at the top because my slogan pops out a little at the bottom and I think it would look more cluttered if the picture was right next to the slogan. At the top, however, there is plenty of space for both a decent sized picture and a description. For my picture, I plan on basing it off of one of my articles in the table of contents, other than my main article. I ended up choosing the article called "Here's why H&M is #Cancelled" because I have shopping bags from H&M at home I can use for props, so it would be convenient for me to take the photo. For my model, I am going to use my brother, Morgan. He is fourteen years old, but, unlike a lot of fourteen year olds, looks like he is sixteen because of his height. I am going to use him as my model because he lives with me so it would be easy to set up the photo shoot and he already knows how to style his clothing so finding clothes to represent the teenage concept will not be a problem.



For the location of the photo shoot, I would like it to be in my backyard because, in reality, my backyard is a golf course and there is a bunch of beautiful greenery that will enhance the photo. Morgan will be dressed in generic clothing with no logos visible to help enforce the idea that he is against fast fashion. Like Alexa, he will have a serious look on his face, and he will be holding up an H&M bag to the camera. The shot type will be a medium close-up and taken at a low angle to show mainly the bag, but also include my brother holding it to show his view on the bag through his facial expression. The emphasis on the bag helps connect the photo with the article it is based on.

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.

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...

The final part of the final part of creating this magazine was to put together the fourth page. I decided to put my article title at the top of my page in the font Abril Fatface because the same font was used to describe the same article in the headline on the magazine cover. To add a little pop of color, I went along with the same idea used on my third page and put the title over a green rectangle for contrast. For my article text, I decided to divide the text into two columns with a divider in between them, as three or more would leave little space for even a couple of words. The font I used for the text was Kollektif because it matches the text I used in the table of contents. I keep trying to use the same group of fonts so that my magazine does not look all over the place. When placing the article text from my previous blog into my article on Canva, I encountered something I was expecting, my article was too long. I first decided to remove the section in the article about Nike...
