I am now at the final part of creating my magazine; my article. Today I am going to plan out what my article's format will look like. In order to do so, I first need to look at a couple teen magazine articles in order to get an idea of the common themes in their articles. However, I went to my local Walmart, and found no teen fashion magazines, so I decided to search the web instead. I went to Teen Vogue's website and browsed through one of their articles on fashion. Here's what I came across:


Although the article seemed long at first, it turned out that it mostly consisted of pictures. The amount of real text totaled up to only five paragraphs. Before the article title, there was a huge photo of the topic. After the title, the paragraphs just explained about the campaign video and the model's opinions on it.

I explained my findings to the group and we all decided that we only needed one or two common things that would connect all of our articles. We want it this way to distinguish each edition of the magazine from each other and make it our own "piece of art". The first common element seen throughout each of my our magazines is the page number located in the bottom left corner of the page. However, it will also have our magazine brand name next to it and will be bold, as shown below:

The second element connecting all of the editions of our magazine articles is located at the start of the article. The first few words of our article will be bold in order to help the readers find where the article starts.

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...
