magazine, as well as the cover page and the layouts

was much simpler than the other roles
although I had to keep in mind all the rules,
but it was definitely the most fun job to do.
 Hardest job for me was probably being a
graphic designer, you need a lot of time on
your hands because its quite time consuming
as you have to be detailed and focused on
making it look professional.

and I used it to construct my front cover
 This helped me a lot because it made my
pictures look flawless and professional, as
well as my front cover, it gave my a variety of
choices on how to edit my front page.
 For example it allowed me to add cover lines
and images such as the bar code- letting me
resize and place it anywhere I like on top of
the main image – making it look professional
