A Week of Choices

A lot has happened over this past week that has changed the course for how my project will be executed. Let me explain what happened in order.

First, we had our second project presentation among our peers, but this time between much smaller groups, so we were able to discuss each individual project for a greater amount of time. Everyone thought my fashion show idea was pretty cool, and thought that the concept went well with my target audience. They also thought my research was well done since I was able to answer any questions that they had. This whole experience made me feel lot more confident about my project since I now know that people understand and like my ideas.

Next, a whole new problem arrived, the web browser I was using was not cooperating. I originally started using Joomag because I thought it offered me a variety of different options to edit my magazine. I watched online tutorials, asked questions at the help center, and even messed around with the software system, but I was still not able to decorate everything the way I wanted. I asked my friends Paloma and Sofi what software they were using, and they both told me Canva. I had used Canva before on school projects, but I didn't know that I was able to create my own magazine as well. I made the switch, and I like this program way more since it's much easier to use

In addition, I finished my table of contents, and I really like the color scheme I chose for my magazine. Here's where I got my inspiration:


Finally, I have everything set for my two page spread. Tomorrow, I will be attending the Underground Fort Lauderdale Fashion Show to see the Zoey Reva and Alice & Trixie spring collections. In my two page spread, I will talk about my experience, the clothing I saw, some of the trends, and then focus the other half of my story on talking about dupes for the clothing.

The only thing I have to schedule are the photoshoots because none of my friends were available for this week, but I already made plans for next week. Stay tunned to hear about my fashion show experience!
