For today, we were instructed to begin planning our magazine. For the majority of my researching process I looked into conventions for both fashion/luxury magazines AND contemporary/lifestyle magazines. The reason I'd been researching the two collectively is because I had initially had an idea of what I wanted my question to be structured upon and I had asked Google how my article should be categorized; and I feel that in reference to examples I had seen, it's best to label it as a hybrid. (Though I do believe it's more contemporary-oriented.)
Regarding the feature article; I wanted it to be touching and emotion-evoking. The topic I am thinking to choose may be considered somewhat controversial regarding the audience; but then again, what isn't?
I was thinking for the feature article to be on "defying societal implications on pieces of clothing" and the cover will likely be a picture of one of my best friends, Nemo. She's always had such an expressive sense of style and she's inspired me to be more confident in wearing what I really like. Unfortunately though, clothes have implications on them that you'd never even imagine. I just think it's absurd that there are genuinely so many perceptions that are implemented onto what and who you are solely regarding what you have on. I've always had a passion for overturning the ridicules that society tries to convince us are normal when realistically, the assumptions are diabolical. I'm not quite sure what picture or outfit I'd want to use yet, but I can provide a few examples of pictures I've previously taken of her for you to get an idea of what I'm referring to.
I simply think these kind of thought-provoking topics are very fitting for the contemporary/lifestyle magazine, and her ability to throw together something that is thematically cohesive and simultaneously fashionable is a really good feature for the luxury/fashion magazine.
