Catching Up with Carine!

Hello Obsessionites, 

 I got the opportunity to interview a Freshman at St. John's University in my Multimedia Communications, Carine Alexis. I loved what she said about about advertising, magazines and fashion; so I thought maybe you all would to. Here is a few quotes from my interview that stood out to me!

Q: What specifically do you want to do with Advertising? 
A: I want to be in magazine publishing one day, because I'm just completely in love with publishing and magazines, like it's so ridiculously incredible. When I open a magazine I get lost and I'm also a visual artist, so I'm really into graphics and building magazines and illustration and things like that. So, hopefully one day I'll be able to combine the writing that I really love and the art that I really love, and magazines just seem like the place to go with that.

Q: What is your favorite magazine? 
A: My favorite magazine is Elle. Like, I love it. I have a weakness for it because there is something about it, it's so tangible and close to New York, but at the same time completely out of reach because it's like Parisian Vogue. It's like the perfect fantasy magazine. I love Elle so much! And, I'm also a big fan of GQ, just because. 

Q: If there was a dream job that you could have, or at a dream company, what would it be? 
A: A dream job at a dream company. I feel like it would be really hard to get to this point, but I would really really really love to be, perhaps, maybe one day the fashion editor of Elle. I know that's like really reall big and almost impossible and the fashion editor they have now is really amazing. I feel like that is a really cool lifetime goal, and if I get there I'll be doing something that I really love. 


 Here is my full interview with Carine Alexis; a classmate of mine in my COM 1002 class! Enjoy!
 


Happy Monday! 

Until Sunday!
