The student plans to create a fashion or nature magazine for their final major project (FMP). They have a genuine interest in fashion and previously created simple covers and spreads exploring nature. They enjoy reading magazines and believe the topic should align with their interests so they have knowledge and enthusiasm. Influences include Vogue magazine and model Chloe Lloyd. The student has improved Photoshop skills from previous projects including editing images, adjustments, and layout design. During the next year, they aim to further develop merging images, text overlay, and color/theme consistency through additional projects to strengthen their FMP.
