For their magazine project, the student created most tasks using Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. They edited images in Photoshop and focused on fashion, using a fashion icon and coverlines. They took inspiration from other fashion magazines for design elements like color scheme, fonts, and images. The goal was to provide tips to women on topics like makeup techniques. For the cover, the student followed the typical conventions of the Gutenberg diagram which divides the layout into four quadrants to guide the reader's eye across the page. Overall, the student feels they successfully aimed their magazine's content at their target audience of 18-25 year olds.
