Because I needed to look for a new photo, I referred back to one of my previous blog posts where I talked about my favorite photos from the photo shoot. However, when viewing them I realized that all of the photos shared the same problem; they lacked space. I realized than since my shot of the model was too close up, I did not have enough space in the margins and bottom to put my puffs and headline/strapline. In some photos, one side of the margin had enough room, but the other side had barely any. Because of this issue, I had to go deep into my recently deleted to find my other photos from the photo shoot. One of the only photo I could find with enough room on the sides and bottom was this:


I chose this photo primarily because of the space in the margins and on the bottom, but I also loved how much light there was in this photos compared to the others. Since the shadowing is only on the upper side of the cover, it leaves enough light on the bottom to put my black headline and strapline without it being hard to read. Additionally, the white and pink shirt in this photo clearly shows that it has been made by Victoria's Secret PINK, a popular teen fashion company that uses fast fashion, while the logo was hidden in the other photo I originally planned on using. At first, I was really upset about my intended magazine cover photo not working out. I almost decided to go out and have a whole new photo shoot. However, I calmed myself down and realized that it would not only have been a hassle to do so, but both my model and I took a lot of time and effort into these photo shoots, and that I should consider looking back at my photos. Now I am glad I switched my cover photo, even if the old one had enough space in the margins and no shade on the bottom. I feel like this photo seems more bright and happier in general, which will help attract more teens to my magazine. I also feel that the shade on the top helps bring more attention to the bottom, which is where my headline and strap line will be.

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...
