When putting together my magazine cover with the new photo, it came out pretty nice. However, there was a big blank spot near the top right corner underneath the slogan, so I though I would use this space and put a sweet spot there. I tried looking up sweet spot on the internet and I only got definitions and pictures of the magazine "Sweet Spot". I then went back to my blog post #2 and #3 to look for a sweet spot on both teen fashion and environmental magazines, but, surprisingly, none of them had any. Because of this, I had to do some more research on sweet spots on both teen fashion and environmental magazines. Today, I focused on finding the sweet spots on teen fashion magazines. I focused on two teen fashion magazines: seventeen and teen vogue. Here are some covers with sweet spots I found...



On this magazine, the sweet spot is located near the upper right corner. In states,"Enter for a chance to win SO MANY FREEBIES FASHION BEAUTY + TECH plus promo codes to save you $$$". This sweet spot contained a promotion inside, which is only available to people who buy this magazine, hence why the promo code is inside. This will help increase sales of this magazine because people want to have a chance to win clothes, makeup, phones, and other possible thing included for free. Using a promotion in my sweet spot will be a good way to increase it's sales.


This magazine contains a sweet spot near the upper right hand corner as well. It says,"the HUNGER GAMES special!" It is used to emphasize the edition of the magazine, which makes the specific magazine seem more important. Since the magazine seems more important, readers may tend to be more likely to buy it because there may not be another edition like it.

 

This magazine has, suprisingly, the sweet spot is located in the upper right corner. It reads,"Get happy A Little Hack With A Big Impact". This sweet spot was used to draw emphasis to another article, besides the main article in the headline and strap line. The particular article may be appealing enough to an audience to where it has the ability to make the reader more likely to buy the magazine, increasing sales and profit.

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.

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...

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.
