After receiving the brief I made loads of notes in my journal with my immediate thoughts and feelings. I have my idea for the premiss of my piece. The next step I needed to do was choose a publication. I remembered this fun, young, online publication called Rookiemag.com, I thought this would be a great piece because that online magazine publishes pieces a very pieces on a very broad range of subjects. Their target audience is young teenage girls and the website is run by young adults and teenage girls. I love that, I think it is a great place for young women and girls to come together and talk about things that matter and interest them. I know if this online magazine had been around when I was 13/14 I would of been obsessed with it (not that I'm not obsessed with it now.) I genuinely think it is the coolest thing. The contributors are all very open and expressive woman with a very pretty aesthetic. The website always looks good. It looks young and has that air of messy childhood arts and craft time, this is enhanced by all the collages and illustrations that occupy every article. It's articles, photos, and pieces are all very nostalgic and at the same time very hopefully and full of longing. This must be because it is young people writing, so there is the genuine feelings that young girls feel being expressed.
With my piece I aim to write about clothes in the perspective of a young muddled person. By that I mean I wish to express and show how being multicultural and having to different styles from two countries can effect the way we think but the main influence on the way we dress (and by we I mean those who are living in a different culture from that which they were born.)
