Red White and Bloomingdales

Week 6:

July 1-July 3

What a way to start off July then with a super short week! This week was the 4th of July so it was basically a long holiday weekend which was really nice. At Good Housekeeping, we had a run through on Monday for our big fashion spreads for the October issue. One spread is for Solve My Style Problem. This problem for this issue was to find cute ways to dress for teachers. The other spread focused on 4 celebrities: America Ferrera, Oprah, Mariska Hartigay, and Martha Stewart. We found pictures of looks from them and then chose similar items so the readers can dress like the celebrities. The editor-in-chief chose the looks she liked and edited out the looks she didn't. We were then in charge of finding credit information for the looks that she liked so readers could see information about the product and where to buy it. These credits will be published in the Shopping Guide at the back of the magazine.

At Creative Communications, the day finally came! And by day, I mean the first day of United Way photo shoots! I was really excited to meet some of the people we have been corresponding with and to be present in general for the shoots. Hanna and I got there early and I met the photographer, Phillip, who is extremely fun and really brings people out of their shells during the shoots. Overall, the shoots went really well and most of the people were fun to interact with. During the day, a few people cancelled and others changed around the dates of their shoot. A definite bonus was the fact that next door they were shooting an HGTV Halloween spread and we got all the leftover candy! I'm very much looking forward to the next round of shoots!
