Fashion Research

It was hard choosing the right fashion magazine that best suited with the theme I chose. There were so many options like Elle, Vogue, Marie Claire, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, etc. But I was really interested in the fashion magazine called 1968. It's somewhat of a new fashion magazine that was created a few years ago. The photos in the magazine is what makes the magazine so legendary. It is also my favorite component about the magazine. The issues of the magazine come out only in seasons.

This summer issue caught my eye when I first saw it. This magazine has some vintage clothing as well as trendy clothing which goes perfectly with the idea of my partner and I's magazine. My partner is doing her magazine on vintage clothing and how clothing is resurfacing in the 21st century. And I am writing about summer clothing and tips for hot summer clothes. This issue gave me an idea to take pictures of a girl wearing her summer clothes at the beach since the beach is the perfect representation of summer.

 "...since fashion is all about what you see, you have to use your words to paint a vivid picture."

 The most challenging thing about the portfolio is writing a two page spread on just tips of a perfect summer outfit since never in my life have I written an article about fashion. But it is a challenge that I'm excited to be part of. While researching on the internet about tips on how write about fashion, there were a few ideas that caught my eye and made sense to me such as, in order to write a successful fashion article you have to use descriptive words so that the audience has an idea of the style, according to the article "Writing style: thoughts on fashion articles." Another tip that was said in the article is that you need to have the knowledge of the fashion world or at least know what the trend is in that time period.

Table of Contents

Today I have been working on the table of contents. So far the structure of the table of contents look really cool. The reason why I like the structure is because it's different from all the table of contents I've seen in the magazines. The structure itself is just what I pictured in my brain. The only issue is that I don't know if the font sizes are readable for the audience to read. I also don't know if I should include all the pictures in the table of contents and instead just add like two pictures that match the two articles out of five articles mentioned in the table of contents. I just don't know if the size is proportional to the magazine because on the computer is different than the actual print size magazine. Even if I include the two pictures in the table of contents it will still look boring and dull. I feel like the table of contents is missing color or graphic design on the top right hand corner.  I don't know. If i talk to my partner when we get...

Feedback from my friends

Today in class I wanted my friends to give me feedback of my project since I haven't spoken to them since spring break started. I also thought it was a great opportunity to see if my partner and I were in the same page with the table of contents since were doing the same magazine but different issue. My friend Jose was really helpful in giving me advice and changes I should make.  For my cover page, there wasn't much changes I had to make other than the type of font on my subtexts and the font sizes. As well as the placement of the text. Originally, the subtexts were all on one side in the left, but my friend said that it should be spaced more around the cover page. So I decided to have three subtexts on the left side and two subtexts on the right side so it can some way make the page a little more even. But in order for me to do that, I have to create another article title.  Now, onto the next topic, the table of contents. The table of contents was a pain in the butt. ...
