The student created a fishing magazine for a production experiment by including a picture of a man holding a fish, a sea background image, masthead, subheading, and main image in Photoshop. They were inspired by the layout and color scheme of an existing magazine cover. For another experiment, they replicated a Half-Life magazine to learn about designing a video game magazine and improve their magazine cover design skills. They plan to apply elements like layout, color scheme, and design skills from the experiments to their final product.
