Magazine development

This is where i put all my ideas for my cover magazine, including masthead, cover line, possible names. This is where i will also reflect and choose what's best for my magazine.

-Chic Couture
-Runway Elegance
-Fashion Forward
-Style Insider
-Street out
-Striving fashion
-Fashion chronicles
-Icon 
-Eleganza
-Instyle  

At first i wanted to use street out but my teacher said that it wouldn't sound classy and high quality so i decided to change it into Style insider. After abit of more research I decided to make my magazine name "VaShion" which is actually fashion but the f is changed to v. I think that it looks more classy because of the wordiing and i think it matches well with my magazine. 

This font looks really nice with my title, that is also one of the reasons i decided to choose this Magazine title.

- Meet the Designers Shaping the Industry

- Psychology behind fashion : How does fashion shows who you are?

- Does the way you dress shows who you are?

- The Subtle Art of Influence : Mastering Persuasion and Style Impact

- Woah?! fashion trends 2023

- What's on the mind of a fashion influencer?

- The reunion of Celebrities and fashion icons.

- Fashion taking over the world 

- Fashion and Self-Expression: What Your Style Says About You

The one bolded in blue is the ones that i think are good for my cover line, but i think im choosing "the subtle art of influence" because it sound interesting.

Self reflection: These are the mix of magazine cover i experimented with, i first decided to choose the picture alone but they end up looking too plain, when i added too much text they looked too much as well so i decided to not add too much text but use the picture where it consist of 2 people. The one closest to the final product is the one with pink title and 2 person image. I prefer that one the most because it looks more simple and not too much. My teacher asked me to change the fonts because white on white doesn't look so good and my teacher said the fonts spacing is abit too much. 

I revised the main cover line's font into a thicker font so that it is more readable, i also tried using bright red to make the text more readable but it does not look very good so i changed it back to white. I also changed the other fonts into a more cursive fonts same with the main cover line, and i also made the font bigger so that it is more readable. I also added the month for the magazine and price. After consulting with my teacher mr nick, i came up with the final version.

This is the revised version of my cover magazine. I changed the main cover line and made the text bolder and i also added a cover line below my main cover line. I made other fonts way bigger and readable which is following the magazine conventions. Some fashion magazine also don't put to much text on their front cover and i am also following that conventions. 

This is my first try at contents page but i decided that it does not look very nice and i changed to into more pictures and bigger fonts. 

This is the final page after research, at first the number are 1,2,3,4,5 but after consulting with my teacher mr nick i decided to change it because after researching the numbers are not usually in one page. 

This is the final magazine double page spread which mr Nick already approved. At first the title is not in the middle so mr Nick told me to change it to the middle,  but other then that mr Nick approved of my magazine. 

 

Location Scout and risk assessment

 

                                                                 

Location: Apurva Kempinski 

Purpose of this shot: To show the fashion pieces found during a fashion show which will help me create innovative ideas for my magazine about fashion.

Media language: Long shot to show the full model of the outfit, this brings the focus on the overall outfit. Lighting is dark to make the background dark and making the focus on the outfit which has bright colors  (such as pink, yellow). 

Pros: High value place which can make the magazine look more classy, well known place

Cons: Far away which makes it not as accessible (still in Bali), many people which cannot be controlled, lighting cant be controlled.

Alternatives: Instead of using well knows places, i can use studios to control everything better and to ensure success.

Risk assessment

Potential hazard:  Natural disaster (tsunami, earthquake), many people which can cause damage if not careful.

Evaluate risks: To practice safety in natural disaster to save time if a natural disaster occurs, ask for legal permission to the owners and put a barrier so other visitors cannot go past it and disrupt even more. 

Control measure: Give procedures to ensure safety and success of the project.

Technical skills (online)

 Problem: Unable to make the embed code larger

The problem was when i was using the normal embed code, the results are small in the statement of intent blog which makes me cant see the results nicely. 

After, i solved the problem by asking my teacher Mr Nick about this, he explained but i still don't understand fully so i used this video to help me and guide me. 

then i did the steps which is uploading it to google drive, making it public for everyone then adding the code <iframe src=" " width="640" height="480"></iframe> and insert the PDF link into the src=" " which then makes the statement of intent post in big size and solves the problem.

The Art of Fashion

"Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them." says philosopher cortez. In fashion styles are often changing, and that is what makes fashion interesting. “I love fashion and i love how fashion changes people, says the new rising star Yolivia Kim”  She stated that the how we are as a person is reflected through the clothes we wear which doesn't mean that our clothes are who we are, but usually the way we dress is reflected from our mind. "Your authentic self is who you truly are in a daily basis, the reflection of who you are" In the early 1979, It was recently discovered the way that you can create and express your own style. According to the “chic league” it is possible to find personal styles and aesthetics that can enhance yourself and embrace your uniqueness. Can you believe it? It means we can have our own personal style and you don't have to change to fit it! "Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live." says Gianni Versace. Style varies a lot from different ways, and it is important that we are brave enough to express how we are and be different. Difference is something that makes everyone unique, there no other you in this world. To understand the art of fashion is to develop a truly personal aesthetic that resonates with your spirit, channeling your true self. Which, personal aesthetics needs to be made personal in ways such as creating self expression within fit, balance, and self concept style. When the fashion developers gather around in 1980, they agreed on this conclusion of the different aesthetics that are expressed within people. "We think that aesthetics are compiled by the mind and emotions relative to one's sense of beauty such as development of taste through views and perception. Aesthetics are also impacted by the time, location, culture, values which causes the changes in the fashion Industry." says the fashion developers. According to chic league there are 7 types of style which are mixed and matched by people in different ways. Some people can have the essence of two or more style but one of them are more dominant then the others. This is what creates the difference of style between people around the world. 7 types of the styles are elegant, classic, alluring, dramatic, creative, feminine and natural. "Out and about" created a description of the styles that would match your personality and type. Classics are usually women who prefer feeling comfortable but stylish and put together and they are conservative and well organized, usually wearing clean, good quality, tailored and classic cuts with neutral colours. On the other hand, feminine are soft delicate and femininely charming types of women who prefers girly outfits with florals, silky, dresses and soft feminine colors such as pink. For natural style, they are a little more complex because of the wider variety but they are usually women who want to feel comfortable and stylish, a bit bolder. The types of clothings that are usually more correlated to natural style is oversized outfits, baggy jeans, sports within bold and darker colours which spices up the whole look. Although naturals are quite bold, another bolder style is the dramatic style. With a "look at me" kind of attitude shown from style, they are confident and sharp and they are not afraid to stand out. This style is usually correlated with black and they love neutrals too such as white, camel. Dramatics are unique because they can wear almost everything such as girly dresses but with bold boots, they tend to use clothings that has that unique, bold look that they are attracted to. Creative style personalities are usually quirky, imaginative, unique and stands out. They love creating new looks that usually uses vibrant colours and trying combinations that are just so exotic. Elegants are usually soft and very well put together women who likes to dress up, but not over dress. They like to look like they are feminine and sophisticated and carries the image of high social standing. Clothings they wear are usually minimalist with good quality materials. The last style is alluring which has qualities such as flirtatious and seductive which carries image of glamour, daring and danger. Alluring usually wears clothings that are quite revealing and they are comfortable with that. In the fashion aesthetics it is usually common to blend the styles together. Rising star Yolivia Kim stated that "I always like to dress feminine but there are times that i dress feminine, dramatic and classic. There are so many ways to mix the styles and the idea of the different possible combinations is incredible." From her photoshoot on 2023 for street out, it was seen that she mixed dramatic and feminine together somehow. "She really is the master of mix and matching" stated krisa del, movie star. Overall, the mix of style and aesthetics can create that one unique look that truly expresses you.

Layout	the layout of the text is column in 3 rows , there are lots of empty space in the bottom of the magazine (for the title) which makes  the magazine looks messy.
First impressions:	I find that the magazine looks okay but isn't so eye catching because the text and images don't really work together so it looks kind of boring and uninteresting. I don't like that it looks too simple and the half page is filled with just texts which gives the impression of the magazine being so informative and serious.
After Reading
Heading:	"sensitivity training"
Subheading:	no subheading

Article:	This article is talking about skin sensitivity within women because of the overuse of strong products that instead of helping our skin, ruins our skin instead.
Mode of address:	It is not directly addressed to us but the article addresses us as readers because they don't use words like "you" so the magazine is in a more formal style.
