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

Implied Texture is seen in
accessories that portray a texture
but they really have a smooth texture. In this necklace, you
can tell there is a rough texture
because it shows that it comes from a rock.

scheme well.
