Blog#49- Table of contents Draft

 Here's what my table of contents may look like but it will most likely change later on.

Blog#48- Photo shoot

 I just wanted to share some of the photos that were taken during a photo shoot Me and my model had.

My model brought different outfits and we took pictures of a different location so not every picture came out the same.

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:

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. 

Story

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."

Lead Attempt

Type of Story: Descriptive

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.
