Blog Assignment #4

For my final project, I choose option three to further develop a quiz. I make two fashion magazine covers, one is called "MODE', another one is called "RUNWAY". MODE means fashion in French. I am aimed to make french fashion magazine, filled with romanticly French style. I use "color range" to select only the lips and eyes parts, showing the feeling of mystery and sexy. France is a country with so much imagination and fantasy. Everything about France is deserved to be expected. Fashion of France is one of the most important part of French appealing. Its nobility and luxury has been well known around the world. In my MODE magazine, I use the white background to display the purity of Fashion in France as a form of art not only a kind of industry.
In another magazine called "RUNWAY", I try to show the characteristics of American Fashion publishing industries. They use popular culture, making connection between the culture and Fashion to attract the public. Runway is the place where models show the masterpieces of designers. I use this name to show that this magazine is about the hottest fashion news and information. And I use the photo of Lady Gaga to indicate the "celebrities infulence" used by fashion magazines in America.
Both magazine covers are made to show the difference of the way to portray "fashion" in France and America.
