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.

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...
