That increases the awareness of individuals about whom we write, all the goods and services that we publish. The magazine is mostly about fashion and photography.
New Year - new plans and new opportunities. We try to enliven our journal. We come up with new sections, categories, and all this with a view to find out what material is more popular among readers. According to web-version of the journal, we can see what pages of it are more successful. The April issue of the journal will embody something new. Eventually studying all editions for the anniversary number, that will be release in July 2014, we’ll be able to create a certain style of the magazine, with a stable and unchanging rhythm of the categories pages.
Cover design: CREPERSON Cover of the journal changed in honor of the new section “Design”. Yes, by the way, FABEEX MAGAZINE is the best independent online magazine from the CIS. That is what we will prove during our existence!

«From the Editor»
Vadim Shubich / Creperson
Author and Project Manager FABEEX
According to my job position, I glad to write to the heading “From the Editor”. I didn’t think a long time about what to write..
During all my years and different spheres of activity (dance, design, arrange events, etc.) I sow enough and understand few rules that helps in life. I want to share them with you. Do you have questions? You can write to me.
Fantastic Four! Or «not the Ten Commandments of Moses» Walking by foot more! Allow to yourself walk by foot. It helps you spend time alone with your thoughts. And during the walking try to think about different things. Think about your hobbies, new projects, about situations that happen in your life and lives other people. This will allow you to think about your actions and their correction. In addition, walking positive effect on health. Visit new places! If you decided follow to previous tip, try to walk from point “A” to point “B”. It is better if you’ll walk on unfamiliar places for you, it will reveal «new horizons». One of easy and acting method to discover new route (way) for you is overcoming severities. It raises the activity of your brain and fills you with new experiences. Road home, at work, training or just at the venue with your friends can be quite interesting. Try once a week explore new places. Learn how correct ask the question! There are different situations in life, sometimes it seems that the exit is almost impossible and can be only one. But, everything isn’t so problematic as can seem at first sight! I remember one history, in one agency, which based in the USA. In the company on the first floor near the elevator many people often accumulated. The company already thought of the additional elevator, but this very expensive matter in the financial plan and painful in its realization. But exit was find! Instead of thinking how to fit all the people in the elevator, or how to make a new one, the company has raised the question: how to make people waiting their turn, feel good! It’s very simple. Mostly, employees are women. So, a large mirror on the floors it is a sure way to pass the time with benefits! Actual situations can be quite a lot of events in which the outcome depends on the right question. Answer to massages! Of course, it is impossible answer to all massages. And there is no need! Sometimes massages from strangers are senseless, but it can be interesting suggestion. It could be the situation when a message comes to you with all sorts of suggestion. Maybe, that will change your life for the better. I sometimes had to ask people to take part in some of my projects. Sometimes the messages were rad and remained unanswered. After some time, people see success. They think of the proposal and start writing the message, but it’s too late. Don’t deal with such people and be humane, then all you get.
Summing up the results of last year. With each new issue of the magazine, the number of readers is growing. In a consequence of that, we prepared the interview review from last year.

«Workshop of gifts» The project which founders are two artists: Shamil Karim & Christina Udovichenko.
Together we work about five years. We generally artists, but are engaged in also graphic design as we see that the side between art and design is gradually erased. One of our most successful projects - «Workshop of gifts». It is the company, which offers to clients a number of the exclusive handmaid souvenirs, made with their own hands. Distinctive feature of production - use of natural materials with application of modern technologies. The workshop settles down in Stavropol, in the center. We inspired by old post cards with sights of the city. Some of them used in a corporate style.
A
s for sides, tell please, many disputes exist connecting with: the design is art or not, but probably there is no obvious answer and everything depends on how to approach to it? It as construction of the house, which has to serve as a roof over the head, a certain cosines and a haven. But there is a set of houses which by right are called as an object of art, probably, it depends on how to approach to working process? How in your opinion from the artist and the designer in the uniform person? We would tell even so: art — is the great purpose, and design, on a row with painting, a sculpture, architecture, music, poetry (it is possible to continue further) — it only means of its achievement. So, not each picture or a sculpture becomes a work of art, but even more often design projects (well unless Sigeo Fukuda’s posters not art become those! ? =).
H
ow much experience of the artist helps you with graphic design? Definitely, there are big pluses, which promote your work at creation of projects. It is plus, certainly, much - taste development in the course of studying of history of arts, the knowledge of laws of composition practically at intuitive, subconscious level - experience of the artist helps more raw, harmonious sensation of forms, their proportions. It isn’t necessary to use services of the illustrator is plus, as well. Moreover, it is always joyful if within the project it is possible to draw something. Well and, of course, a magnificent view with a pencil in an outstretched arm.

ach year, Scott Kelby, Editor-in-Chief of Photoshop User magazine and the #1 best-selling Photoshop author, trains literally thousands of photographers on how to retouch portraits using Photoshop through his live seminars, online classes, DVDs, and standing-room only workshops at the Photoshop World Conference & Expo. Now you can learn the same techniques he uses in his own retouching workflow, in the only book of its kind–one written expressly for photographers who do their own retouching.

That’s why Scott put together this amazing resource for teaching photographers the quickest, easiest, and most effective ways to create professional-looking, retouched final images without spending hours grinding away at painstaking, detailed techniques.

From ideas to logical finish: how do You come up with and carry out your work? What can you tell us about your project: Field Of Dreams? The images themselves drive me. When looking from the bus window on my way to Long Island I saw the most perfect wheat field and imagined girls adrift in a boat. The following morning I was on an exhaustive search to find the field owner and insure it would not be cut. I also was on the phone with editors to pitch the storyboard and get clothes and an editorial in the works. I called local historical area’s Wooden Boat Society and found the perfect boat. This story became Amber Waves.

here is a wish to learn that you attracts in model business and as it is necessary to correspond to this profession in style. Model business is as figure skating: policy of double standards! For example, than that after all it is more in figure skating: style or beauty, dance or sports? Question isn’t simple, agree! And model business (industry) - that is more, feeling of own style or (as though it vulgarly didn’t sound) sports interest? Sports - who the first becomes the gold medalist in game under the name “I want to become the top model”. Actually, is sense of style synonym of model business? For each model (in particular on territories of the Russian Federation and Moscow), I think compliance of model profession is more compliance to own I. Regardless of what the person is more motivated: sports, business, model business etc.

The feeling of a Shopaholic and desire to have dresses for every day is inherent in all little girls! Regardless of fields of activity and life priorities! It is the fact!

Generally, I select clothes that each thing is combine among other, both for every day and on special day. I have much clothes, which most part I still never put on. ĐšEach time walking on shops, I see a certain image of this or that style. I consider in the head that style is very individual. (Well and often depends on mood) their identity not in the name and high cost of brands. It is my feeling of comfort and beauty! For issue I adhere to classical variations. As I consider, that the luxury consists in simplicity and elegance. And in everyday life I differ nothing from ordinary little girls, even I will tell more, I try to be imperceptible - jeans, a cap and forward!

Probably, after tiresome shootings on heels, more practical wants to change clothes to something? I adore footwear I adore I adore!

For every day, I prefer wear something more convenient, for example: jack boots, simple boots, timberlands.

ello Larisa! Tell us a little about the work, about the agency and how is search of models carried out? In which countries does your agency search of new faces? Hello. I am the booker of model agency «ND Model Management». The range of my duties is rather wide. Beginning from preliminary selection of models, maintenance of their training, the solution of organizational questions, to the organization of their work abroad. We search of models in all Russia. Our agency specializes on complex preparation of models and their world career with the subsequent employment in world model agencies. To maintain the rigid competition, our models have to conform in everything to the international standards. Therefore, we very seriously approach to selection of models. We interested in quality, instead of quantity. This rule we use at all stages of work – from selection of models and their training to a choice of foreign agency, with which each concrete model will work.
n requirements of your agency, we found some interesting criteria. Proceeding from which you gather new models. For example: lack of bad habits and tattoos. Are you categorical to these requirements? Whether to probably tattooed girl having some bad habits (smoking, alcohol, certainly not in the excessive use) to get to you to agency? Before getting to us to agency, the girl will surely come to us to a casting. If she is good for us in parameters, before signing her contract, we long enough will talk with her «heart-toheart». As a result, in this conversation we will ask her much more, than about smoking or alcohol. We have to be aware of all possible problems interfering development of her career. Matter a set of details – a dental health, a hair, nails, skin, a house situation, a training place. And, the most important - we have to understand gravity of its intentions since before we will be able to think of her employment, we have to spend many forces, training her at our model school. Under the terms of the contract, training happens on credit. That means the model pays to us for training only when will start working and that with rather small parts. Therefore if we are mistaken in her and we won’t make of her model, it will mean that we trained her on own account. If the girl has serious intentions, she will give up smoking, both tattoos will reduce, and all other problems will solve. 66
W
ith what your agency can brag at present? Tell please about your achievements. To be honest, in our corporate policy is absolutely accurately registered: «We never to anybody don’t brag of anything. We simply much and selflessly work». I can carry a number of techniques of training to achievements at our model school. We have small groups since the school works only for the models, which are on the contract in our agency. There is a wish to allocate a unique technique of statement of a fashion show, which developed the most talented teacher and the founder of agency, the pictorials Natalia Danina. Models start «going» after the second occupation. There are at us training techniques by means of which models quickly enough start feeling the camera. We regularly improve all techniques. Generally, we work, as well as it is necessary to all who wants to achieve desirable result.
W
e want get from you a few important tips for beautiful ladies and young men, who dream get to model business. The first what I going to tell the profession of model is very pleasant life full of adrenaline. But, plus to that, is very hard work. It is very frequent also accommodation in not comfortable conditions, it numerous refusals on a casting, it both shootings during a rain and dirt, in a frost and snow, it offensive phrases from customers, it jaundiced eyes from competitors, it, eventually, situations when there is even nothing to eat … But, at everything thus, you, without changing a look, has to continue to smile to the customer and to speak: «all OK! «. There is a lot of gray mice, units from tens of thousands become Tops. But, as the known proverb speaks, «that soldier who doesn’t dream to become a general» is bad. Therefore if you decided to become model, be adjusted for serious work. Also, aspire, aspire, aspire! You remember, your way to the star purpose boundless desire to achieve this objective and daily dedicated work. If you are really ready, surely you will set everything! Believe to yourself! 67
