Blog Post #22: 'Girly Co.' Mood Board

-

 Hi, welcome back to my blog!

 Today, I'll be sharing the vision board that I created for my magazine "Girly Co."  This gives an insight of what's to come & the creative process that goes into planning my magazine.




The idea behind this vision board is that, it would be considered a female, black owned magazine & so I wanted to focus on African American women & their style. With fashion, there are many ways to style yourself & I want to address that in "Girly Co." Also, the colors that are seen represents how vibrant & upbeat my magazine will be. My inspirations are Essence, Vogue & Teen Vogue; I hope to mirror these into my magazine because "Girly Co." caters to fashion in the African American community, teens & adults; when I combine my three inspirations, it'll complete my magazine all together.

And we're back! Hey guys, today I'll be researching about the history of magazines. Whether it's a tattoo magazine, fashion magazine, rap magazine or even a cooking magazine, it'll always appeal to a specific audience. With that being said, I decided to base my magazine off of fashion magazines. Fashion has been around for centuries & has been innovative throughout history. In 1867, Harper's Bazaar became the first fashion magazine to debut & it included everything from casual to couture. This paved the way for other successful establishments such as 'Vogue', 'Essence', 'Elle' & many more. These magazines are important due to its contribution to the fashion industry. It keeps society up to date with the current trends that are occurring in the world & helps people to decide what style suits them best. What's so amazing about fashion is that, it never goes out of style because it's what you make it.
