I would say that this would be the middle of the semester and I have just been working on the layout and putting the stuff on the InDesign file that I have. Kira my supervisor wants to see a sample of the finished magazine in November. I don’t know if I would be finished in November because there is a lot of stuff that I have put on there, but I know for sure that I will be finished in December.

The pictures below are sample images of the work. This would be how to send images to the boss so that she will be able to see and make changes when she needs them. We mostly communicate in google hangout but sometimes we would talk by email. For the Indesign file, I use my grid system that I learn from my classes. She would always tell me that she love the way put the pictures.

I have been well in my internship now and I have gotten pretty use to it so far. I am still working on my layout issue of the magazine and I have to say that nothing much has changed but the only thing that I mostly change would have to be the motivation has changed the most for me because I am just creating the layout of the magazine which is great for someone who loves doing that part of work but for someone like me who is mostly hung on and love being creative then I wouldn’t have picked this job for them.

As the week on my supervisor emailed saying that they were updating their team’s page so I should write a short bio about myself and send her a picture of myself. They also wanted my put that I am working for them on Linkedin which I have done that already. Since I have been working for them I have learned a lot of stuff about what a person who works in a magazine company has been through and I know that I mostly have stated home and work but it is a lot of work to do. I am very grateful for the experience that I’m getting from this internship.

It’s been a couple of weeks in the internship and I have been working on the magazine layout still. She hasn’t given me an end date so I would think that it was sometime around November – December. With the week of the internship, I have gotten an email about Jejune partnering up with a company called headcount, which is basically a company that helps people register to vote. So since the voting was coming up in November, Jejune wanted to write an article about registering to vote and she wanted people to know why we vote so that people know the importance of voting. So we had to sign up so that they can send us the stuff to take pictures in and say why we vote.

When I got the package there was a t-shirt say vote going down and then there was a clipboard and a mask. with the words vote or register to vote. when it was the day to register to vote we post it on Instagram and Kira made an article about it, which is up on the blog. It felt great to tell people to vote because this election was important more than any other election and it felt like I was going something important. I have never done anything like this before. We end up registering up a lot of people that day.

Hello, it’s the third week of the semester and I have started my internship on Monday. I as said before I am interning for a magazine called Jejune. I don’t have a pacific work am just an intern. On Monday I woke up early, my supervisor Kira who is the founder and the editor told me that I wouldn’t have to start my internship until 11:00 because that when she would be available to help me if I need something.

She started to go into more detail about what she wants to do. Like I said before they are making paper versions of the digital one, so she sends me the files that I would need and that I would be mostly using InDesign to make the layout. I had to down the blurb creator which basically is that it creates the document setup, then she sends me the link to the first issue. I guess everyone who is an intern for her gets different issues.

She went on to give me a sample of what the paper magazine should look like when I’m done with you. Since there is a lot of information to put the documents she told me to start with just getting the information on the document and don’t worry about the design part. I did this for a whole week and she would check in on me to see how it was going. There was couple of time i would start before 11:30. I once had to start over because i didn’t like how it was coming out but then i was able to work it out and sine then i kept working on it.

When i would send her samples of the work she would tell me what needs to be changed so then i would make the changes and send it too. I don’t have an end time so i would be finish at 10:00 pm to 10:30 pm, which wasn’t a problem for me because it was simple work to do.

 

 

It’s the second week of the fall semester and all my classes have started within the following week had gotten an email back from the editor of the chief and founder Kira Bucca saying that she would like to schedule an interview over skype because we could meet in person. At the time I had skype but I never used it so I had to make a new password then tell her what time and day I would be able to meet with her so I told her Friday at 11 was a good time for me which was fine with her. I send her my skype info.

When the day comes for my interview I woke up early and got ready like how I did for every other interview. I logged on and then she told me to tell her about me in which I did, she asked me a couple of question and she told me what I would be doing in the internship and what days that I would work and the hours, so I told her that I would need to have 120 hours at the end of the semester which was fine with her and I could work 20 hours Monday, Tuesday, and Friday but Friday I would have to work after 2:00 pm because I had class at 11:30 am-2:00 pm. I asked her two questions about the people that work there and what I would be doing every day, she told me that since covid happens there isn’t much outside work to do so she wanted to turn the digital magazines into two print version so that people will be able to buy them.

When it was time to finish she told me that she was going to interview other people so she would get back to me next week and that I should send her a couple of my work so that she could see. When I got off the skype call I emailed her my work in which she said me an email saying that she liked my work and it was good.  Then  I waited to tell it was Tuesday and I haven’t gotten any email so when Wednesday come I send her a follow-up email and she was happy that I reached out to her because she told me she was busy and forgot about it. She asked me when can I start so I told her I will be able to start Monday which was fine with her. For my internship class add to get the agreement between me and her filled out so I send that to her but she also had me sign a non-disclosure agreement to sign. I emailed her the forms.

 

 

It’s my senior year of college fall 2020 and I only have 6 classes that I have to finish in order for me to graduate this semester. So one of the classes that I have to take is the internship class, which basically mean that I have to pick an internship that has a deal with my major but for my class, my professor said that I could pick something that deals with the things would be doing when you graduate. Before the semester started was looking for internships and the professor gave us a couple that we could do but those ones I really didn’t want to do so I didn’t apply for those. She had a list of places that you could apply to.  When I started looking I was looking for internships in the fashion industries because that was where I wanted to work.

So I fixed my resume and I wrote a short cover in the body of the email which you will be able to see a preview of I wrote to every place that I have applied to. I started with a couple of places that the professor gave us. One was called society row but the email that was listed didn’t work, Then I tried other places but those places didn’t work, then I remembered a website that I have used in the past to get internships in the fashion industry. The site is called “fashionistacareer.com ” so I saw that a company named Jejune Magazine was looking for fall interns so I applied. Jejune Magazine is a socially aware fashion, celebrity, and art magazine that gives a much needed political voice to the population. They cover current events in the world, highlight people giving back, and give a platform for discussion through imagery, fashion, art, and written words. They are looking to unite across cultures, diverse backgrounds, styles, and beliefs, for a better world to live in.

They are located in Brooklyn new york but since of covid, they are looking for someone who can work remotely. That was great because I didn’t want to leave the house because of covid. so I applied and I was still applying to another place and I was wanting to get answers back.

Gianni Versace “Giovanni Maria Versace”) was born on December 2, 1946 in the industrial town of Reggio di Calabria, in southern Italy. His parents, Antonio, an appliance salesperson, and Francesca, a dressmaker and clothing store owner, had three children-Santo, Gianni, and Donatella. Gianni Versace spent much time in his mother’s shop as a child. He watched her make clothes and admired the chic women who came into the shop. He knew at a young age that he would become a fashion designer. Versace also drew inspiration from the area where he lived. It was stated in Ruta, Francesco. “The Versace Logo – History and Evolution.” Museo Del Marchio Italiano, www.museodelmarchioitaliano.com/route1/versace.php. ,He often wandered among the ancient Greek and Roman ruins, which would later provide him with themes for his clothing. Although he loved clothes, art, and music, Versa

ce studied architectural drafting. At the age of 18, while he was in school, he also worked for his mother as a buyer, going to fashion shows throughout Europe.
He started designing clothes when he was 22. A local garment maker hired him to design a collection that was sold in Francesca Versace’s store. Fashion models from Rome and Milan came to southern Italy to perform in runway shows. Soon Versace’s name was heard in Milan, the center of Italian fashion.In Story of the Versace Medusa Head Logo ,Admin, Joe – LMW. “The History of Versace and Their Logo Design.” LogoMyWay Blog, 14 Sept. 2018, blog.logomyway.com/history-of-versace-logo-design/. it was stayed that “Gianni Versace’s incarnation of Medusa is based on a more alluring representation of the legendary mortal, where Medusa is suggestive of power, strength and beauty that constitutes a propitious sense of the mythology. The Versace Medusa head, as it appears in the brand’s logo, is an expression of Versace’s vision: she encompasses Versace’s taste for tradition and classical nuance along with his desire to astonish audiences with designs that are striking in their brilliance, originality and style.”

Given that Gianni Versace was a designer first and a businessman second, it’s unsurprising that he would choose to design his own logo. Growing up in Rome, Gianni Versace was heavily influenced by the Greek artwork that is common in the area. In fact, Gianni Versace claimed that the inspiration for the Versace logo came from artwork on the floor of the ruins in Rome that he and his siblings used to play on. Kramer, Alix. “THE TRUTH BEHIND FASHION LOGOS.” STITCH, STITCH, 9 May 2016, www.stitchfashion.com/home//the-truth-behind-fashion-logos.Gianni said that he chose Medusa specifically because of the way that she made people fall hopelessly in love with her with no chance of ever going back, and he hoped that his company would have the same effect on the people who purchased Versace products.I love the idea of this logo because the outfit fit the name of the logo . Versace flew north to Milan on February 5, 1972. Salvatore Chiodini and Ezio Nicosia of the Florentine Flowers clothing mill had asked Versace to hurry there to design a collection that had to be rushed. Versace designed some “instant” summer wear, which was so successful th

at he earned not only his four million lira wage, but also a Volkswagen convertible. He then designed Florentine Flowers’ fall and winter collections.During the early 1970s, “Made in Italy” clothing was just beginning to surface. Milan had just become the fashion capital and was the logical place for the emerging ready-to-wear industry. Chiodini and Ezio Nicosia’s hiring of Versace marked a turning point in the fashion industry. They realized that clothes could not continue to be anonymous. Increasingly sophisticated buyers demanded a personal touch.

The work for Florentine Flowers was Versace’s first independent assignment. Shortly thereafter he designed for De Parisini of Santa Margherita. In 1973, Versace designed women’s ready-to-wear clothing for Callaghan, known for its knitwear and Genny, which featured leather and suede. In 1974, Versace created and developed his own line-Complice. Although he wasn’t yet working under his own name, Versace already had his own label. Under the Complice name, Versace designed an all-leather collection. He was one of the few designers to feature leather at this time.
In 1976, Santo Versace, Gianni’s older brother, left his management consultant’s practice in Reggio di Calabria and moved to Milan. Santo had earned a degree in business administration from the University of Messina in 1968. O’Donnell, Tanya. “Versace Logo Design History and Evolution.” LogoRealm.com, 13 Feb. 2017, logorealm.com/versace-logo/.stated that He and his designer brother set out to create the Gianni Versace label. In 1977, Donatella Versace Beck joined the business. Her husband, Paul Beck, also worked for the company, overseeing the menswear line. At the beginning of 1978, the company opened its first Versace shop in Via Spiga, Milan, but it sold only Genny, Callaghan, and Complice lines as Versace’s first fall women’s collection had not yet been released. Versace’s first

signature collection was presented in March 1978. His first menswear collection followed in September. The collection was characterized by a stylish nonchalance and the use of pastel colors.Versace decided to remain independent, becoming one of the few big labels in control of the entire product cycle, from design to retailing. Creative and marketing operations were handled through the company. On the manufacturing side, the company had a controlling interest in its production facility. Control of manufacturing was necessary in order to monitor quality and image. Eighty percent of the styles that reached the runway were produced by Alias. Retailing through boutiques was handled directly for image purposes in Paris, London, New York, Madrid, and Milan or through exclusive franchising and multi-label boutiques. To smooth distribution, buyers viewed the collections and placed their wholesale orders out of the company’s Milan showroom. Retail operations were franchised.

In 1979, Versace, who was always greatly concerned with his image, began a collaboration with the American photographer Richard Avedon. In 1982, Versace won the first of a series of awards, “L’Occhio d’Oro,” (Golden Eye) for the best fashion designer of the 1982-83 fall/winter collection for women. “Story of the Versace Medusa Head Logo .” Gevril Group, gevrilgroup.com/versace/gianni-versace-medusa-logo/. stated that “In this collection he displayed his famous metal garments, now a classic feature of his fashion.” His metal mesh dress was inspired by the punk fashions he saw in London in 1980. To develop the mesh material, Versace worked with German engineers. In la

ter collections, metal dresses were made in bright colors. In the 1980s, Versace introduced another technological innovation, the bonding of leather to rubber using lasers
In the book Vulgar Favors: Andrew Cunanan, Gianni Versace and the Largest Failed Manhunt in U.S. History, journalist Maureen Orth claimed that Versace had the AIDS virus when he was murdered. The Versace family won a legal battle in 1998 to exclude the designer’s medical history from the police report on the crime. The family called the allegation in Orth’s book an invasion of privacy and a “scurrilous attack on the reputation of someone who was a victim of a horrible crime and is not here to defend himself.”Robin Givhan wrote of Versace in the Washington Post, “Designer Gianni Versace is being mourned by the fashion industry as a fallen titan. Before Versace, there were no supermodels, no celebrities at shows and in advertising, no screaming fans. Fashion was not entertainment, it was merely clothes. Over time, his work was celebrated not only in fashion annals for its brashness but also in museums because of the ways it reflected the culture and re-energized the Old World artistry of the seamstress of the couture. Versace understood the importance of marketing. He loved celebrities and knew that they not only attracted the attention of the press, but they also helped to set trends.”.I think that gianni is very gifted person who’s fashion design is very good , i would love to be like him one day .
