Lights are flashing as modeling directors and photographers alike toss out pose after pose to expertly styled models. The set is lined with props, carefully planned and placed to accentuate every color and line that can be seen through the lens of a camera. In the back, makeup artists are brushing color onto the lids of the next round of models, and lighting techs test different colors and brightness to achieve the perfect ambiance. Anyone walking in would think they had stumbled onto the set of a Vogue shoot, and they wouldn\u2019t be that far off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is what a day on the set of a Platform Magazine<\/a> shoot is like. It\u2019s chaotic and powerful, a meeting of creative minds in the pursuit of a common goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Platform Magazine is a student-run fashion and culture magazine here at NC State headed by Editor-in-Chief Morgan Snow, a senior fashion and textile management (FTM)<\/a> student with a concentration in fashion development and product management. More than half of Platform\u2019s members are like Morgan: students at the Wilson College of Textiles taking what they\u2019ve learned in class and applying it to their work in the magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
