Erin Stephenson experimented with designing magazine covers and double page spreads for a gardening magazine. For the cover, they focused on keeping it simple with minimal text and a central image as the main focal point. They explored different text effects and framing. For the double page spread, they worked on framing and aligning text, which was difficult at first but improved with practice. In their reflections, they noted elements they would include in the final product, such as considering the relationship between text and images, layout, and readability of fonts.
