The very last part of creating my magazine is to assemble the third and fourth page together. I am first going to put together the third page. Considering that there are a lot of pictures in teen fashion magazines, I wanted to start my article off with a picture. In fact, I wanted the picture to take up an entire page to kind of show that a new article is coming up. A long time, during the photo shoot with Alexa, we took a photo for the main article as well. That is the photo I planned on using for this page. Here is what it looks like:


However, I do not want just a plain photo to take up an entire page. I want this page to introduce the reader to the new article, so I wanted to incorporate something into it to tie it to the article. Considering that my actual article is really long, I came up with the idea to introduce the audience to Alexa on this page, rather than take up an entire paragraph in my article to explain about her. Although there is little space in this photo, I decided to put text in the upper right hand corner saying "Alexa, 17". This is to show the audience who Alexa is and that she is a normal teen just like pretty much everyone else in the magazine. Since the grass is on the darker side of green in this photo and the text I used was black, I decided to contrast the black by putting a red rectangle behind the text, making it more visible to the reader.

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...
