How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
When I originally started doing media I was aware that I would be creating a magazine because I know someone who took this class previously so I somewhat had an Idea of what the class was about. But I didn’t know it was going to be this complicated and I mean that In a good way. I thought that magazines and blogs were going to be easy and simple but they actually required you to put in effort. The whole process I went through creating magazines and writing blogs has definitely improved my production skills and has taught me other skills as well. I learned things like how to conduct interviews, edit, make magazines, and learn production skills. We learned about how magazines have barcodes so I also included that. I decided to make the name of my magazine a different font so it always stands out. I also made my heading in bold so that it stands out as well and shows what the audience will be reading. Even though I knew very little on how to make a magazine I got the job done.

How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
I believe the audience for my magazine is teens and young adults who are trying to express themselves or feel more confident. My magazine is a fashion magazine, and in making it, I ensured to include several techniques to target teen readers and engage the audience. I believe my audience would pick up my magazine with other teens and people around their age on it rather than one showing you to workout. Nowadays social media platforms and other magazines might make teens feel like they have to workout in order to be pretty. As opposed to mine, it shows people that everyone is beautiful no matter their height or weight.

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
Throughout the process of creating my magazine I got inspiration from different types of fashion magazines and gathered ideas for conventions I should apply to my magazine. The title of my magazine is Hype Fashion. The name is short, simple and memorable. I chose this name because it sounds energetic and simplistic at the same time. The fashion magazine is not only about high fashion clothing, however it also includes Beauty, health, love and travel. The magazine gives the audience a variety of fashionable ways of containing a luxurious lifestyle. The cover of my magazine is very conventional with having a single model on the cover posing that focuses on natural beauty and the model. Rather than the clothes or editorial makeup which would usually be found inside of the issue. My magazine's main focus is to show young teens feeling confident and ignoring fashion's beauty standards. In the fashion world there are standards set that help them choose which models to pick. Most of them along with Victoria Secret state you must be thin and tall. Lots of people in the world become discouraged and their self esteem is lowered. They feel as if they have to look like these people in order to be pretty. My magazine talks about these issues in order for people to feel like they are not alone. Hopefully my magazine encourages people to keep doing what they want and not listen to these companies' standards.

Blog #47- Final magazine cover
After adding a couple things here and there and editing my photo this is how my final magazine cover came out:
.png)
I will continue to give some updates in the production process of my magazine.
Blog#46: Production Blogs: Front Cover Photos
These are some of the photos that I took of my subject a while ago and I already decided that one of these pictures was going to be what I used for my magazine cover.
Here are the pictures:
When taking these pictures I felt like they would work well as the cover page. At first are originally planned on including them inside the magazines but thought that these would work better as covers because some fashion magazine put their model as the cover page and I thought I should do the same thing
Blog#45- Double page spread feature story plan
I have decided that the topic I want to use when writing my feature story for my double page spread has to somehow relate to fashion. I will be writing about some of the fashion trends around the world. I really wanted my magazine to be about fashion and I wanted the topic that I write not only to focus on my fashion model but touches up on some things that relate and are relevant to my topic.
Fashion and identity are inseparable companions. Fashion with all its symbolism and attributes form an outstanding base for personal and cultural identification. Identity is a necessary process of a healthy personality as it is a part of self-realization of a person that is so much required for finding a place in life of every person. So I wanted to talk about the different trends around the world and how they may relate to some cultures
I plan on asking my model for some information regarding the different trends around the world since he travel sometimes and has tried cloths from different places in the world.

Blog #44- answers to interview questions
To day i'm going to be showing the answers my model gave to my questions.
Why fashion modeling?
I want to be a model because when I look at the Hollister models and the Billabong, Rip Curl models I can see myself doing that kind of work. I want to work at some kind of beachy place that sells the beachy clothes, because that is where I grew up around, the beach. My personality is happy and laid back, even though most of the time I'm serious and not smiling. It's because I don't like where I'm at or I don't like the people around me. Yes, there will be days when I really don't like the photographer or the location of the photo shoot, but I will do my best to put it behind me and try to have fun.
Where specifically would you want to work?
Personally I would like to model for either Hollister or rip curl/Billabong. Hollister is in California and Billabong is in California and Hawaii, but traveled for the photoshoots.
What does a Model do?
Models have to keep up with up to date portfolios and composite cards to take to all castings and client auditions. A portfolio is a collection of a model's previous work, and a composite card contains all of the model's best work. Model work schedules can be demanding and stressful, many work part-time and have unpredictable work schedules and have to be ready to work at any given time no matter the circumstance. In the fashion industry "one day you're in and the next day you're out" so models can experience long periods of time unemployed
What do people say or how do they act to show that they think your clothes are good?Fashionable, trendy, stylish and chic, are all good ways that people talk about clothes that I wear.
How can I make used and refurbished clothes appealing?This topic is very important to me because many people are spending too much money on expensive high end clothes when they could get the same for less. So I am trying to show how the less expensive clothes are just as good as the expensive clothes for less money.
Who is your favorite designer? Why?Oscar DeLaRenta because he started so young and took the risk of dropping out of highschool to pursue his dreams and he was a huge success.
If you could meet your favorite designer, what would you ask them? I would ask him if it was difficult to leave his friends and family to pursue a career.
In your own words what do you think of fashion? Fashion could be many different things because it means different things to different people. Fashion is an art. It's a religion. It's a job. It's a peek into a personality. It's playful. It's an escape or a disguise. It is a feast for the eyes. But ultimately, fashion is an individual statement of expression for each of us.

Blog #42- Practice feature story
This is the practice feature story the I will be writing on Angel Hong:
Angel hong is a hard working and dedicated student. She strives to do the best that she can when working on things and when helping people out. But the recent covid pandemic has altered her mind and her way of thinking. While Angel does care about school and her grades she has become more lazy and less proactive due to the effects the pandemic had on her. Although the pandemic has impacted her negatively she Is doing as much as she can to get rid of her laziness and return to the hard working student that she once was. But being a good student isn't all there is to Angel. She's also a wonderful, nice, and caring person. If she sees people in need she will do everything she can to help that person to the best of her abilities. In an interview Angel said "That If I had superman's powers I would do my best to help people, try to lower crime, solve problems regular humans can't, and just try to make the world a better place overall." This shows how good of a person Angel is and the lengths she would go to in order to make the world a better place. While Angel seems like a great person, just like everyone else she has her own fears and embarrassing moments. But despite all this she won't let these obstacles get in her way of reaching her current goal which is to get into a university.

Blog#39- Preliminary Task: Feature story practice #3
Today i'm going to be practicing writing my third lead for my feature story.
Background information: A lead is the opening part of a story that catches and pulls the reader into the story. It should capture the spirit of the story and create the proper tone. Can often be longer than one sentence, should be in the third person, and not filled with clichés.
The type of lead I will be attempting today is a Descriptive one.
The police in this municipality received a call at 3:45 p.m. yesterday afternoon. A woman shouted at the sergeant who answered the telephone. She said: "My son's been beaten. His teacher whipped him this afternoon, and he's all red where she paddled him. Can teachers do that? That's assault and battery, and I want her arrested." Two police officers were sent to the home. They questioned the boy, who is 9 years old. At his mother's insistence, the police officers also inspected the boy's reported injuries. They reported: "We couldn't tell that the boy had been paddled. His fanny didn't look red to us, but we did notice that his pants legs were wet and muddy. As we talked, it became obvious that he boy was lying. He finally admitted that he had stopped to play on the way home from school, forgot the time and got home late. He told his mother that the teacher had spanked him and kept him after school. His mother was there with us and heard the whole story. She said she'd take of the situation, and we're quite certain that she will, as she was very embarrassed. In fact, we could hear her giving the kid a real paddling as we left—and a hard one."
A mother is going on with her day pretty normally until the boy comes home claiming that his teacher assaulted and hit him. Upon the mother's request police officers were dispatched to the house to evaluate the events taking place. The mother then claimed her son had told her his teacher had assaulted and injured her child. It was later revealed that the boy had made the whole thing up as an excuse to him being late home. The officers left but can assure you that the mother took care of things from as they were leaving.

Blog#38- Preliminary Task: Feature story practice #2
Today i'm going to be practicing writing my second lead for my feature story.
Background information: A lead is the opening part of a story that catches and pulls the reader into the story. It should capture the spirit of the story and create the proper tone. Can often be longer than one sentence, should be in the third person, and not filled with clichés.
The type of lead I will be attempting today is a Narrative one.
A man is the hardest working person there is, or so they say. Is it actually more women that are goofing off or Is it men? There's a common misconception that it is usually woman who are prone to working less and fooling around more than men. In society most people believe that women rather focus on drama rather than actual work but is this actually true? In a new study conducted the results suggest otherwise.
Story
A study at the University of Michigan shatters some myths. The results were announced today. Women have a reputation for gossiping and talking, yet the study found the reputation is undeserved. The study, which required researchers to observe a number of people at work, found that women work both longer and harder than men—that men spend more time goofing off on the job. The study found that the average employed man spends 52 minutes, or 11 percent of each working day, not working: in scheduled coffee breaks, unscheduled rest breaks, at lunch beyond the normal hour and so forth. The average working woman spends only 35 minutes, or 8 percent of her working day, in such scheduled and unscheduled rest breaks. The same study found that the amount of effort expended by women at work is 112 percent that of men. The discrepancy is more dramatic than the statistics indicate because men earn more than women for the same type of work. The average man in the study earned $13 an hour, compared to 9.34 for the average woman. The women tended to hold mainly clerical jobs, but those in managerial positions also outperformed their male counterparts.
