Blog Post #21: Magazine Reflecting!

-

Hey everyone! 


Today's blog is about me explaining how I'll incorporate information from what I've gathered & apply it to my magazine. 


I'll use my knowledge in fashion to help further my magazine along with the research that I've gathered along this process (Ex: seasonal fashion tips etc.) Since "Girly Co." mirrors Essence, Vogue & Teen Vogue, I plan to use inspiration from their cover house style, demographic audience, aesthetics & more!


 I'll incorporate Essence & Teen Vogue by mirroring its target audience & demographics which in result, will appeal to African American teenage girls. What I admire about Essence magazine is that, it shows how impactful black women can be in different fields of life. From fashion models, politicians, musicians, actresses- these ladies are proof that anything is possible. Also, I like Teen Vogue because it's a magazine that appeals to the younger adult audience. Teens are still figuring out their style & are more likely to gravitate to certain celebrities whether it's from a tv show, movie or musician/band; this magazine includes all of those things. What fascinates me the most about Vogue is the versatility that it has developed over the years. Its sophistication & poise is what I hope to integrate in "Girly Co." Over the next course of my blog, it will include in- depth information about what's in store for my magazine.

Evaluation CCR1 video link: https://youtu.be/Pi_skDjaP0s Hello, my name is Felixia Francis. Today I will be answering compulsory question one. This is for my AICE Media studies Cambridge AS level course.  Compulsory question 1 asks 'How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issue?' My magazine follows the basic conventional Rules and Guidelines of a standard magazine, amongst other things it includes a masthead, a tagline, a coverline, a cover image, a barcode, an issue number and date. In order to gain inspiration for my magazine, I followed the example of various fashion magazines that inspired me such as Vogue, Teen Vogue & Essence.       For the cover page conventions, the first thing you notice is the masthead, the masthead is the title of the magazine & it is also in the biggest font with the sole purpose of standing out. My Masthead is Girly Co. which is not only in the biggest font of the entire magazine, but i
