Okay, truthfully, I had a hard time trying to figure out what I wanted my theme and story to be for my magazine. I believe it’s important that I get this done before moving onto creating the magazine. The only thing I knew was that I was doing a fitness magazine for young teens. However, as I began researching cover images of teen magazines I came upon this picture of Gigi Hadid.
She is a well-known model that many young girls look up to. Hence, in this picture she has a black-and-white filter while behind a white background which captures her beauty in a simple manner. So, I thought I could do that for my cover image. The magazine also attracts teenage girls because it includes different shades of pink that surround Gigi. I was VERY happy when I came upon this magazine cover because I finally realized what my cover image will be and what my story will cover for my two-page spread. Let me explain. So I’m going to use the similar layout that this magazine used, however instead of using a Victoria's Secret model I will use a real teenage girl that represents the beauty of her strength. Hence, I’m looking for someone who is able to capture this, like the competitive swimmer in the picture below.
Next, for my two-page spread I want to go around the school asking girls in competitive sports team about their perspectives of being athletes and what made them love it so much. I will be focusing on three sports team: flag football, track, and swimming. During this, I will take pictures and interview the girls for my story. I’m so excited I finally have my theme and the content for my two-page spread! Next week I will begin the interviews as well as setting up for my magazine’s cover photo shoot.
