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 and their transparency, but the article still was way too long to fit onto one page. I put everything I wanted to into the article already, and I did not want to get rid of anything else from it because I planned it out already. So, rather than taking away even more text, I made the article two pages instead of one. As for the picture and caption, I put it after the second to last paragraph because the second to last paragraph talks about the effects of fast fashion on the environment, so that when the audience sees that pile of clothes, they will see it differently.

Some final changes I made to the article was that I made both columns 3.8 wide. I also added "~Alessandra Watkins" after the end of the article because I was the author. I put the text in the font Abril Fatface to connect it to the title of the article. I also added the page numbers to both articles, keeping in mind of what the article's page number was on the table of contents.

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...

A common trend I noticed among teen fashion magazines was that the background was mainly white. Also, each article title and page number tends to be bold. Pictures on the magazines are used to represent an article. Some pictures are used to connect an image to an article in the table of contents. For example, an image might have a page number next to it but no description. However, the description will be located in the same table of contents, but just under the article. Other times a picture will be used to represent a magazine itself. The picture will have a page number and description next to it, but it will not be under the traditional list of table of contents. The final trend I noticed is that magazine companies do not exactly have the same format for the table of contents for each magazine they publish. For example, pictures may be placed in different spots or there may be a different set of colors. Since I am doing a group magazine, all of my group needed to decide on a forma...
