Rchive For CanCulture

I hold this piece close to my heart because it was one of my first published articles, and more importantly one of the first stories I took great pride in. For this article I attend the upcycling fashion event hosted by Rchive, a fashion collective based in Toronto that helps support local designers and artists. I conducted many interviews with designers, attendees and the organizer of the event which taught me the proper logistics for audio quality. I took photos for the visual content and also for my scene setting. This is one of my largest articles published, which meant it was also one of the longest editing processes. 

Throughout the editing process I learned how to receive constructive criticism from my editor, while also understanding the balance of what notes to take and where I can stand my ground on certain ideas to retain my personal voice throughout the piece. I attempted to insert a narrative flow in this piece, something I was learning about in my classes, and explored the power of visually descriptive writing in scene setting.
