Move Forward with Dance!

Illustrationfriday. com's word of the week is Forward according to Becky Caldwell. In order to move forward in dance, specifically with ballet it is proper for a ballerina to buy "pointe shoes".  I am inspired to research dance magazines and articles after viewing Leif Peng's 50's inspired articles of food advertisements.
This advertisement was published in 1960 in the Evening Post by an unknown author. Not really with the dance theme, but inspires me to make a advertisement article and to research dance magazines and articles.
For over 80 years, Dance Magazine has elevated the art form on a global scale. You can also follow them on facebook.  It was first published in 1927 as  "The American Dancer". Currently Wendy Perron is the editor-in-chief as of 2004.
Pointe magazine is an international magazine for ballerinas and dancers. It is published by Macfadden Performing Arts and covers international news on competition news and rising stars. This magazine's goal is to empower dancers to achieve their goals thru developing their artistry, technique and self-confidence.

I am also inspired by Chanel fashion and I found this advertisement displaying a lovely pair of shoes that have become a popular trend, which were inspired by ballet shoes.

Please watch for upcoming thumbnails and colour schemes for my next piece of artwork.
Thank you.

Here is my magazine layout design:

Was missing something, so I added a pretty decorative border.
