My style

This year I am planning to direct my focus on accomplishing the AS Magazine Task and documenting every step taken during this unique experience. For start, I would like to describe myself as a person, highlighting what are my inspirations and aspirations, but most importantly, what is per se 'My Style'.

I have always been fascinated by the beauty domain and its whole concept, including clothing, cosmetics, hairstyling and embracing your true self. Of course, this category includes hundreds of specialisations but I wanted to list the primary ones, as they are the foundation and also the ones that capture my attention more. Furthermore, I enjoy reading a magazine more or less related to this topics, with a more minimalist design, but also with a twist; an eye-catching part, item or information, which may seem a bit out of its place but has really the role to catch the reader's attention.

For some people the next category which I will mention can seem completely opposite from the one I have spoken about, but in my opinion it's not really like that. Sports.

I myself am a professional athlete, a tennis-player. Everything that is related to physical activity, nutrition, commentators giving real-time informations and sports equipment find my interests. I always like to connect these two different domains because of what I've seen so far, working in the domain. Every professional player or amateur, no matter of the sport, starts by marketing themselves. By winning matches, travelling through the world and improving their performance, athletes get noticed by brands, any brands really. In tennis for example, this means starting from racket brands like Yonex to clothing brands like Nike or Adidas; the variety is huge. The next you know it you are already being asked to do the marketing for their products, by simply wearing or using them during the matches. Amazing, right?

Closing the professionally directed chapter for a second, I would like to open the personal one. I find myself as a very ambitious person, determined to accomplish all my goals, but also creative and emotionally intelligent. I love watching romance movies like 'How to lose a guy in 10 days', 'The notebook' or 'Me before you' and listening to pop music or reggaeton, as I am currently studying Spanish. I also strongly believe in the quote mentioned in my initial description: "Everything happens for a reason"; no matter what difficulties life brings me, I am capable to face them all with the mentality that what has to find me, will find me. You can not be found only by good things and positive energy; sometimes your smile will fade, but you have to stay strong and keep fighting. Not to prove others wrong, but for you; for you happiness and well-being. This quote can also be interpreted otherwise: everything has a hidden meaning and it is done with a purpose. Whether you believe it or not, every single thing is done with a reason and is not done 'just because', especially in the media world. But that is something which I will prove during the process of creating my magazine.

Even though until now I didn't really have a more profound connection with Media Studies more than a regular person (watching movies or using social media) I am planning to go through this wall and discover what lies behind it, hoping that the desire to learn and passion for this subject will bring my talent to the surface!
