My research question is ‘How do luxury fashion brands synergize with graphic design in advertising in order to boost fashion magazines?’.

So in my information map, I wanted to make questions such as ‘How does luxury fashion brand advertising affect fashion magazine sales?’ and ‘Which fashion magazine brands advertise luxury brands, and what are their sales like?’.

In my info map I wrote luxury and mass market brands, rankings of fashion magazine sales, advertising strategies, and categories of advertising.

This information map helped me organize information about my research.

Advertising

I wanted to express advertising media from this drawing. These days because of development of media, people have access to ads through the television, internet, and the radio. I drew hands of people holding money because I wanted to express that people often spend money after they come across advertising in their daily lives.

Graphic Design

I have always been interested in graphic design, and I realized the fact the graphic design is closely related to advertising. I drew a drawing of the game Tetris, because whenever I played this game, I thought that it was very graphic.

Makeup Tools

I drew illustrations of makeup tools because I like putting make up on. I look up many make up ads and its postscripts to find out closely about them. I think I spend money on makeup after looking at advertisements than clothes or shoes.
