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.

The following pictures were taken for my main article picture... For my main article I wanted to have my model, Alexa, laying down on the ground with clothes and/or shopping bags surrounding her. This would help convey the idea that the clothes from major teen fashion industries is hurting their consumers; teens. I also made sure that the clothing and shopping bags were colorful so that the magazine would draw in and appeal to teens, our intended audience. Taking the photo on the grass, again, helped bring a pop of color to the magazine but also help connect the cover picture with my main article, considering that both of the pictures were taken outside. Out of all the photos, I feel that the one to the bottom left looks the most appealing because the photo is the most filled with shopping bags and clothing. Having more clothing and shopping bags taking up the frame helps intensify the overwhelming feeling of them around Alexa. Empty spacing is not needed anyways becaus...

Now that I have found some examples of sweet spots used in teen fashion magazines, I now have to look at sweet spots used in environmental magazines to see if there are any key similarities or differences between the two. Here are some of the following environmental magazines covers I found with sweet spots... In this magazine, the sweet spot is located in the bottom right corner. The text in it says,"Visualizing Carbon Because seeing is believing p.24". In this case the sweet spot is being used some what as a puff by promoting an article in the magazine. In fact, it is the only article on the cover besides the one in the head line.  On this magazine, the sweet spot is located in the upper right area. It states,"SPECIAL REPORT The Future of Our Environment". The sweet spot is, again, being used to promote a specific article in the magazine besides the one in the headline. Putting another article in the sweet spot draws attention to the article and hel...

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...
