    I decided the easiest and clearest way to answer this question would be to put my information down in a mind-map. For this took notes in a google doc then later on used Canva to present it and make it more visually appealing. I also added the Kalopsia masthead and…

    April 17, 2026 - By Raluca Istrate

    On 28th of March, I had a city break in Milan and visited the city for good sights. I took a trip to the museum “Armani Silos” which presents some of Giorgio Armani’s older collections and took a few pictures, as I realised in integrates really well with my magazine’s…

    Q2: How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?

    April 16, 2026 - By Raluca Istrate

    My magazine, Kalopsia, is a fashion and art-focused editorial that explores the idea of finding beauty within imperfection. It is primarily aimed at a niche audience of young creatives (approximately 16–25), particularly those interested in fashion, photography, and self-expression. This audience is likely to engage with independent magazines, experimental visuals, and…

    Q1: How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?

    April 16, 2026 - By Raluca Istrate

    For this question of the critical reflection, I decided to do a presentation where I also feature more pictures from my magazine to make it more interactive and fun. For this I used Canva and chose a beige presentation to match the table of contents. Before I started I divided…

    April 6, 2026 - By Raluca Istrate

    For this photoshoot, I actually ended up going to my parent’s workplace, since they had a lot of white walls, space and the actual main tool that I needed, a projector. I went with a friend that I also photographed, since I was my own model she also helped me…

    making the layout

    April 2, 2026 - By Raluca Istrate

    Before even starting I realised i barley had any inspiration on how to layout my magazine, every page looked flat/lifeless and just as if I threw random images around the page, as initially I tried following the basics of a magazine structure, hierarchy white-space grid based design, which to be…

    making the editorial //(through the lens of my eyes)

    April 1, 2026 - By Raluca Istrate

    First thing in order to create this, I had to write the text/content that will be included (the message the magazine wants to send, my thoughts and opinions, etc.). My intent is to persuade readers to consider and potentially adopt my point of view on the magazine. Text: Have you…

    Making the table of contents

    March 31, 2026 - By Raluca Istrate

    For the table of contents I started by writing down the actual title and giving it a nice theme, I decided I want the text to expand on two pages, for aesthetic purposes. This was really easy to make since I had all the information I needed in the “table…

    making the front and back cover

    March 5, 2026 - By Raluca Istrate

    I started working on canva for this. This was my initial design for the front cover, however I had a bit of empty/negative space which I did not like and the title wasn’t big enough Back cover: For the back cover I decided to go pretty simple, I added the…
