Magazine project planning-research #5 InStyle magazine

The last magazine that I researched, was the In Style  July 2017 issue. The cover is quite simplistic, as the only picture on the cover is Sarah Jessica Parker in a long flowing dress looking over a balcony. The associated article information reads, "Sarah Jessica Parker view from the top" and is in smaller black letters, which creates a pleasant contrast among the cream-colored background.  The font of the title, In Style, is very modern and bold, and is white on color. The articles included in this magazine included everything about beauty, such as makeup, hair, and fashion. Some example articles include: "Fashion and beauty right off the runway", "Off the chain! Alana Zimmer makes a case for layered necklaces", and "Beauty Talk". The main article featuring Sarah Jessica Parker is found in the middle of the magazine, and includes information about her favorite beauty items such as lip gloss and perfume, as well as her favorite leisure activities. Furthermore, there are different advertisements, including ads for Lily Pulitzer clothes, Olay moisturizer, and Oxi Clean Power Packs.  The articles contain several types of photos, such as photos of clothes, and makeup items, as well as close-ups of hairstyle, as well as celebrities such as Emma Stone on the red carpet.

Final Submission

I didn't choose to change anything about my cover, because I am content with the layout of it, as well as the color scheme. I didn't change anything from the 3rd quarter submission for my contents page. I chose to make the text wrap around my pictures, and centered the picture on the right in the middle of the text, as well as add branding on the bottom of the page for our website and social media.

Production #4-Article

Today I was also able to complete my article pages. I chose to incorporate the same border I used on the contents page in order to create a sense of cohesiveness. Furthermore, I made the background a pale blue color to match the sky in the first picture on the article, and chose to make the font black, since it's classic and simple. I made the article title a bigger font size than the actual article, as that's how most, if not all, magazine are. I also chose to make the name of the interviewee the largest to represent that she is the main point of discussion in the article. On the second page I chose a quote that Kailyn said and chose to enlarge and and place a picture next to it, similar to an article I saw in  InStyle magazine. This helps to draw attention to the importance of the quote, as well as show a picture of Kailyn dressed casually, which she explained during our interview is her favorite style.
