For my magazine, I really want to reach a younger audience because I feel as though the topics I have chosen to write about are all extremely prominent in teens. During our teenage years, we are usually trying to discover who we are and who we want to be. This is not as easy when there's so much more societal pressure as well as judgment. I want to target all genders that struggle with self-acceptance and self-appreciation. Furthermore, I want to make this magazine as diverse as possible by interviewing individuals with different backgrounds. My goal in my magazine is to emphasize how uniquely different everyone is in the best way possible. I will be doing this by interviewing teens who have struggled with taking pride in who they are, as well as those who have overcome this struggle. By doing so, more teens would be interested by being able to see and read about the many different stories people have dealt with personally. This magazine would allow others to acknowledge that they are not alone.

Nikko is one of my male models. Since I want my magazine to display acceptance and openness, gender norms will be completely obliterated in this magazine. Therefore, I asked him if he would feel comfortable in "women's clothing", and he said he loved the idea. We came up with two outfits for him. The first outfit consists of a pink beanie with a smilie face on it, a white graphic t-shirt along with a pink button up shirt to match the beanie, and a black skirt. The second outfit consisted of a white bucket hat, a jean jacket as the top, and some grey baggy pants. We thought it'd be a good idea to take these photos in a public setting rather than in a room to convey the idea that he is prideful in his self-expression and embraces his authenticity, not just privately but publicly as well. As for props, he wanted to wear many necklaces and I wanted him to hold his skateboard. It has a nice design and I though it'd bring some spice into the mix!
