Blog Post #11: Preliminary Task: Cover Page Explanation

-

 Hi, I'm glad that you're back!

In this blog, I'll be going in depth about my previous blog.





To start off, the title "Girly Co." is what I intend on naming my potential blog/magazine. So, I decided to implement it for the preliminary task. I obtained the hard hat image from the internet & the idea behind the pink hardhats is that, since this is a female owned magazine, I decided that this image would speak for "Girly Co." & what it stands for. Also, I went with the pink & neon yellow color scheme because, I like the color pink & the yellow was implemented to add an extra pop of color.


Additional details:

 ♡ Masthead

♡ Main Image

♡ Strapline

♡ Main Cover line

♡ Color Scheme

♡ Personalized House Style


When creating this cover, I didn't have many issues other than the hard hat image appearing as pixel & finding the font that fits my magazine. The house style of this cover includes a color scheme of bright colors. I wanted it to appear as an upbeat & classy magazine while trying to implement mise en scene. The masthead is in a big, horizon outlined font & it adds a fun, bold touch. Also, the target audience is meant for teens & adults that are familiar with these women that are in the public eye. Overall, the process was enjoyable & it was great to get the experience of doing editorial work.

Hey there! In my previous blog, I shared the interview questions curated for my subject. I had the pleasure of speaking with Shacorea Balfour, a fashion enthusiast who's also a mother & entrepreneur. Balfour gave honest responses & detailed on how she styles on a daily whilst giving her opinion on fashion in today's society. 1. “Fly Mom” has grown to be your slogan, what is the meaning behind it?  "Fly mom started out as something I made for me but overtime, I decided to make it about empowering mothers to embrace their style. Often times mothers lose focus on their needs & so fly mom is about how mothers can in fact do it all while looking good." 2. What is fashion?   "My definition of fashion is the ability to be versatile. Because no matter what you decide to put it on, fashion is what you make it." 3. How did you get into fashion?  "Ever since I was a little girl, my mother would dress me up & this habit led into my adult life. ...

Evaluation CCR 2 video link:   https://youtu.be/ADWFYPQGQSw   Welcome back! My name is Felixia Francis & I’ll be answering compulsory question two.
