 Hi! Welcome back to my blog.

In today's blog I'll be sharing my fashion inspiration for 'Girly Co.' This magazine will include streetwear, preppy, Y2K, monochromatic fashion etc. & I hope to channel all of those into my magazine perfectly.

 Streetwear


Over the past few years, streetwear has grown to be a go-to style for society. It's a casual, unisex style that allows for not only men but, women to express themselves through fashion. You can wear a fitted baseball cap, baggy-jeans, sneakers & an oversized t-shirt & still be feminine. What I like about streetwear is that it breaks the social norms of how society thinks women should dress. 


Y2K


Y2K is an acronym for "the year 2000." It's a fashion trend that covers the late 90's & early/mid 2000s style. With Y2K it includes vibrant colors, fur, velour tracksuits, prints ( animal etc.) I feel as if this trend has been so impactful that, it has been active for many years especially today.

Preppy


Next up is prep! Preppy wear is a classic, polish sort of collegiate style. This style includes flair/pencil skirts, pull- over sweaters, cardigans, ankle or calf length socks etc. I mainly gravitate to prep wear because it gives off a girly, clean look. This style has been seen all throughout media & television productions such as 'Gossip Girl' which plays a part in many fashion influences.


Monochromatic


Monochromatic fashion is an outfit that is made up of one color or a similar shade. What's so great about this fashion trend is that it's fun, different & keeps things interesting. Whether it's streetwear, Y2K or prep, one can always implement monochrome into their wardrobe. 


See you in the second part of my 'Photography Inspiration.' series!

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

Evaluation CCR 2 video link:   https://youtu.be/ADWFYPQGQSw   Welcome back! My name is Felixia Francis & I’ll be answering compulsory question two. This is for my AICE Media studies Cambridge AS level course.       Compulsory question 2 asks “How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?" The target audience for my magazine are African American females between the ages of 16-30 plus. It appeals to my audience because it pertains to fashion & how it is represented in the black community. This also shows how my magazine follows the standards of Essence & Vogue combined. Although my magazine is curated for a specific race & gender, it can be viewed by anyone. From seasonal styling to fashion do’s & don’ts, Girly co. has the qualities of a fashion magazine.   As far as distribution, this magazine will be distributed on the shelves of bookstores, grocery lines and local stores. It’ll also include online streaming s
