In today's blog, I am stating the portion of planning that is enveloped in the style guide. By this, I mean my main focus today was to establish the general color palette I wanted to use and the placement/content of my magazine.
I did today simultaneously on two computers, one being a laptop (where I am blogging this, with my style guide blog open on a separate tab that I am referring back to) and on Adobe InDesign through the computers with the application in the back of the classroom.
*20 minutes later*
The computers were excessively slow so my idea to do the two collectively unfortunately doesn't seem like a possibility today.
I want the brand to be named DIVA DAILY. It will likely extend across the top of my cover image like Elle, and depending on the picture I use it will potentially partially obscure the brand name.
My magazine intends to focus on clothing and its relationship with identity.
The feature article will be titled "defying societal implications on pieces of clothing". Within this article I will contain an interview with Nemo, the featured model/subject; and an annotated transcript interviewing her about her experiences with clothing expression.
Another article will be focused on curvier women and differed standards, like stricter societal expectations critiquing their presentation/clothing choices. I want to do a side-by-side comparison picture layout somewhere within this article, with different body type models wearing similar outfits. I don't intend to be controversial with any of the topics discussed; but it's typical for this genre to speak out on issues that may have opposing opinions or perspectives.
The table of contents will include small pictures besides the headlines dividing sections. The back page will conclude with another frenzy of models wearing diverse, standard-defying outfits.
