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.

After finishing my article, I wanted to take a picture to put in my article. I ideally wanted the picture to act as a visual for my readers to get an idea of what fast fashion looks like. However, I do not really have much access to factories, landfills, or polluted rivers, so I had to get creative. I remembered that I actually have a lot of old clothes that I do not wear from my "middle school days" but never got rid of. More importantly, a lot of these clothes were produced with fast fashion and contain logos of the companies on them. I wanted to make sure that the shot was close enough to where the reader could tell what brands the clothing was, but far enough to make it look as though there is an overwhelming amount of clothing. Because of these factors, I decided to go with a close up shot to capture my photo. As for the setting, I was definitely not going to take this photo outside because I did not want to get my clothes dirty.  I chose to take it on my wooden floor...
