Today, I did a lot of research on 1920s fashion and I tracked down images from Pinterest and various websites that I can incorporate into my project. I also browsed through various modern day fashion magazines as well to see examples of both layout and content.

Why I Did It… 

I want this fashion page to be a little bit of a remix between the 1920s and present day. Therefore, I want to incorporate aspects of both into my magazine page. I want to use the best photographs and content that I can find through my research as well.

Documentation Plan 

I am going to use MLA citations for my project. I am either going to document the images directly under them in the page or create a section for citations at the bottom of the page depending on how my layout fits all of my content.

What I Did…

I created a mockup of my project using Balsamiq, a wireframing tool.

Why I Did It…

I think that Balsamiq is a great and easy way to lay out projects and create mockups. I have used it before to create mobile and web wireframes, and I think that it works just as well to create magazine layouts. I have decided to form my project as a fashion page inside of a magazine. I used modern fashion magazines as an example of what kind of content could possibly go into my page. For example, Who Wore It Best, Fashion News, and a Style/Trend watch. I want to incorporate a lot of images, because fashion is all about seeing the clothes. My next step is to start creating the content (write the articles) and collect the images that I want to use.
