Evaluation
During this yellow week I had to write and design an article for this is FEED magazine. It had to respond to the theme obsession but we were also allowed to relate it to any theme from sport and health, to dance, to fashion and design. We were also able to write from a personal perspective or react to an ongoing situation in the world.
Working in small teams I followed creative writing techniques, understanding the style guide of FEED and to be able to analyse a range of target audiences and styles of journalism. My article had to be approximately 500 words. My theme was about plastic surgery and how girls want to change themselves because either they don’t like their body or because people tell them their isn’t the right way for a particular reason. I also used a personal experience within my article as I came very close to having plastic surgery to get into modelling.
Looking at headlines helped me to think about attracting the reader before they even read the article itself. My headline was Beauty Fool as it relates to Beautiful but they are a fool because they listen to other people and want to change when they have nothing to change because they are beautiful in their own way.
When I came to designing my article I decided to take a photograph of myself and use the perfect grid to show not everybody can have what they call the perfect face to be beautiful. I chose to use black and white throughout my design to emphasise the face and make up isn’t needed to make you beautiful.
If I was to do it again I would like more time on my designing as I think personally I had too much time on the writing itself.
