Big Switch

       As I began to move forward with the production of my magazine, I felt like I was about to put myself into an extremely difficult task because if I was going to do Latin American Music, it would be extremely difficult to make my magazine completely unique, especially the pictures as I was not going to be able to get any famous Latin American artists and that was the main focus of Latin American music magazines. Following this I quickly began researching into luxury/high-end fashion magazines. I found a quick interest in this and began my research. Here are some of the magazines that i'd like to base my magazine cover image on:



      I found that many of these magazines do indeed use celebrities for the cover images of their magazines, but I decided that if I used the appropriate aged male, and the right outfit, I could pull of an excellent cover magazine which would focus on what really matters, the fashion item. With this said I will quickly work on catching up with my research so I do not fall behind, although I decided to switch my genre so late.

Feedback session #2

Today in class we had the final feedback discussion  before the due date of the project. I gained reassurance from it because I felt like I was extremely behind but it turns out I just need to catch up on shooting my pictures. I was having trouble thinking of a background to use for my cover image, and where I wanted to take it. My group brought up some examples of other magazines and presented them to me, and I decided that my background should be plain, but with a glossy touch. Colors like white, grey, and black are all good colors to use, depending on the color of what the model will be wearing. I also asked more about the double page spread and what I should talk about. I stated my idea that I mentioned in a blog post and the group liked it but they also gave me the idea of doing the article on a certain season. For example, “How to dress for the summer” which is not a bad idea, but I feel like it wouldn’t apply to my genre, but I am going to keep it in consideration.

Double page spread

     After really thinking about what I could possibly do my double page spread on, I decided that I am going to do "The latest in mens high-end fashion". What I intend to talk about, and the message I intend to carry out will be about how to keep up and stay within the current fashion trend, and on the specifics of the actual articles of clothing, like shoes, single/double breasted, gray/navy, etc. What I intend to due, is to let the audience know how they can be like everyone else within the fashion trend, but then also how they can add their unique style to their outfits.      When talking about high-end fashion, tailored clothing is the main focus under that category. I will focus on the suits, ties, shoes, and other accessories within this category for my double page spread. This is the most common form of high-end fashion as it is so practical for everyday life and necessary for not only special events, but also for work, or any sort of elegant even...
