Avec Amour Magazine

Letter from the Editor Hi my name is Emma Anglavar and I am the designer and creator of Avec Amour magazine. For as long as I can remember I have spent my time, drawing, coloring or de- signing things so I knew when it came time to pick my senior project I would head in an artistic direction. At the start of my project I was planning on going into graphic design and I saw the senior project as an opportunity to get my foot in the door and see what it was all about. That is why I chose to create an online magazine. I realized what better way to condense all of my favorite things into one project- instead of having to pick one of my hobbies I would have the opportunity to dip my toes into each one. Starting off I knew automatically who I wanted my audience to be; High school teens. Because, being one myself, I believe that today there is no magazine out there for us that really we can fully relate too. For example, most major magazine companies that are aiming for a teen audience aren’t in fact being run by teens obviously! So truthfully, not all the articles are ones that we 1: really care for or 2: can be relatable. This directed me into a direction that really devoted a lot of time and effort into deciding exactly how the layout, articles and design were going to be. This is really were my project began, as I started researching I realized I personally was more drawn to articles with very simple- cut and clean designs. Not the ones that had 10 million different things to look at. I wanted to get in and out of the article and that’s what I aimed to do in this magazine. Once I had created a mental image of what I wanted the final product to look is when I really started to face some challenges. I had specific ideas floating in my head and when I could not turn that mental image into a physical one, I started to get frustrated. Frustrated that I couldn’t make every possible plan of mine follow through as well as the continual struggle of learning to maneuver an online design program, rather than just a pen, paper and some paint This overall journey to creating Avec Amour has been an adventure to say in the least. Going in I honestly did not realize how much work I was getting myself into but now, after the fact appreciate that very much. I learned so much about the design and myself. It has taught me now where my interests truly lie and accepting things that you cannot always change. Though I would change, tweak and add so many things too vec Amour even though they are out of my control... I would never go back and change this experience. Avec Amour! (With Love),

WHAT’S “IN” MATTE LIPS Thanks to the popularity of Kylie Jenner and other trendsetters, matte lipstick is once again a hot item. It’s seen all over the runways, in magazines and let’s not forget most beauty enthusiasts Bible (aka Pinterest). It’s a trend that comes and goes and, in my opinion, never gets old. When it comes to a statement- making pout, matte lipstick is the way to go. The product leaves the lip with a velvety fin- ish that stops people in their tracks. From hot pinks to deep burgundies, matte lips are not the easiest of looks to pull off, but when you can, they look flawless.
