Schedules in Place

I feel like I have everything set in order to create my magazine. Today I went to Aventura Mall and looked at different clothing, in order to find looks for my models to wear. I went to Top Shop, FOREVER 21, H&M, GAP, and purchased several items of clothing. However, for the most part, I'm going to be using clothing I already have from those stores in order to avoid spending so much money. I'm really excited to start the photoshoots because it's going to feel like an actual professional shoot. 

I'm going to attempt to take all of my pictures by the end of this week, that way I have all of next week to edit in order to get things done on time. As far as creating the product of my magazine, I started using Joomag in order to set up the layout and to choose the themes that best represent my target audience. I have chosen the classic, white, background with  black, elegant font, just like most beauty and fashion magazines. In addition, I will include elements of bright colors in order to give the magazine a more juvenile appearance. There's not much I've placed on the magazine, since I still don't have any pictures or my story, but I will fill out all of my information as I go along.

Most importantly, I have finally chosen a name for my magazine... BERSERI. I have chosen this name because it means "radiant" in Malay, which is what my target audience, and all women in the world are. To be radiant (in the figurative sense), is to be happy, joyful, outspoken, beaming. In the literal sense, it means to emit rays of light or heat. To me, it having it as my title personifies the idea that every woman is influential, independent, and important, since they spread their talents, ideas, and morals everyday in order to make the world a better place. The masthead will be in all caps, but I don't know what color I will choose for it.

I've already acquired all of my tools and have all of the blueprints to bring my vision to life. Now is the time to actually start building the bridge...
