FINALE
I have finally completed my online magazine and the creative critical reflection. Overall the process was educational, informative, exciting, and entertaining. It was a long process that took hours of hard work and motivation but I am more than pleased with my final result. As someone who one day would love to create her own fashion magazine, this propelled me into the type of work I want to get into.

SO PROFESSIONAL
I've been so busy I forgot to stop by here!I cannot believe the success of the photoshoot! Going over the photo's with my friend Adeline (who modeled for the project) we realized how professional and Vogue-esque they really feel. I get chills just thinking how amazing they'll look on the final copy. I'm in the process of editing them and creating tone-specific colors so they can all flow throughout the magazine. Photoshop and Lightroom have been my best friends in this part of the project. All I'm missing is revising the whole magazine, possibly adding a few details, my CCR and finito!
All in all I am completely and totally satisfied with how the project turned out!
I'M DONE...BUT
I have officially finished my magazine...
BUT, all I am missing are my photos, so technically, not quite. Thankfully, tomorrow, Saturday, I have confirmed 10 times with my friend that we will definitely be shooting the outfits and "style book." She has picked out about 10 pieces from her closet and today after school I am going over to finalize them or change some things. To be honest, I have mentioned this before but this is so exciting for me, all my life I have wanted to be involved in the fashion industry and the fact that I can somewhat mimic it for a school project is amazing!
Tomorrow we will head down to Miami where my mom's studio is located. Set up and begin the process! Hopefully, when we finish I will run home and immediately begin to edit the photos on photoshop, upload, and publish. The next step... my CCR.

SOMETHING(S) GO RIGHT
After the past two mishaps that I had, I finally had some luck.
Ever since I had written my two page spread article, I wasn't completely convinced with the title I had originally thought of, "Black & White is Always Right." It threw me off and I felt like it was young and immature. I told myself to continue working and get back to it later on (keep in mind this was extremely difficult considering I am a perfectionist).
Yesterday however, I had an epiphany. It's hard to explain it in writing but by new title will now be "Black & What" similar to the overused "Black & White." What I was planning on doing in order to be more creative, was in a regular font write out "Black & White" but on photoshop get a marker effect font and draw a line over the "White" and type above it "WHAT?" in the same marker font.
As mentioned in previous blog posts, my article is about styling black and white outfits yet adding pops of bold touches such as purses, makeup, and accessories. Since I am planning on crossing off the "White" I was also planning to just do black outfits with additions of color. I think this will correlate more to the title. For this reason, I guess I am lucky things turned out the way they did with the photoshoot raincheck... more time to plan.
Additionally, I finally found out how to upload my already created page onto Joomag to create the magazine, it was a simple mistake and clearly I wasn't looking hard enough. I simply have to download and "already created PDF" and add pages onto it afterwards. I am so excited to finally see the majority of my work all out together!

RAIN CHECK
Just my luck...
There's about a week and a half left into the project and this past weekend I had planned to get all of my shooting done for my images. What I was dreading the most became reality and the model that was supposed to be my center focus obviously had to cancel.
As soon as she texted me the news I had a panic attack, there's only a week and a half left! I tried contacting all of my other friends but it was too last minute, she let me know literally two hours before we were planning on meeting up.
Before breaking down and ending up changing everything, I tried to make the best of the situation. I saw this as more time to plan and coordinate what poses I specifically wanted and the exact looks I wanted modeled. Although it felt as more weight on my shoulders to not mess this up one more time, I told myself to remember previous experiences... how I usually work best under pressure.
