Design Thesis

This magazine does not have a focus on a certain

age group. Who doesn’t LOVE accessories? Jewelry,

scarves, hand bags, shoes, belts, and headbands can

make or break an outfit, so why not find out what is in

style with the celebs. You will be able to learn the

Elements and Principles of design and how it is related

to all different types of accessories. We all have our

different styles, but why not know the meanings behind

your style?

Interest: Decorating

Going to the beach Shopping

Watching Movies Baking

About the Editor I was born and raised in

Charlotte, North Carolina. I have grown up loving the design field, always redoing and rearranging my room, doing crafts, and into color

schemes. How I would describe my design style would be an edgy, rustic feel. That was my main inspiration for creating this magazine. Accessories are very crucial to me and I thought that many others would find it interesting

how they are related to the Elements and Principles of Design. I hope that this magazine can inform you of fun, exciting facts about accessories that you may have not ever thought of.

Love, Paige Allen
