The First Step

Today, March 7, I officially start my portfolio project. To say I’m a nervous wreck is an understatement but I’m also quite excited. I believe that this project can be the start of something great, at least I hope so. A couple months back we had to pick if we wanted to do a film opening or a magazine issue; I knew straight away that I was going to choose the magazine issue because I love fashion and design and I think that with the magazine it will help me explore my passion. But, now comes the difficult part: choosing the genre (Breathe in, Breathe out). So, when I chose to do the magazine I was 100% certain I wanted to do a Fashion magazine. But now as I am doing research and looking at other examples I realize the choice isn’t so black and white; it’s actually quite gray. I’ve realized that I might want to do one of three options: a cooking magazine, an interior design magazine, or a fashion magazine. I have been using Pinterest as a way to gather inspiration and better explore the endless options I have in front of me but after looking at thousands of pictures I think these are the four main pictures that I want to use as my inspiration.

        

            

The four pictures that I chose each represent one of the three genres that I might want to do. They also capture the type of mood I want to create which is edgy and artsy, but also modern and contemporary. As I dive deeper into my research hopefully this choice becomes more black and white and less gray.
