This semester, Media Design students are creating their own magazines. The magazine is 16 pages long, and we create EVERYTHING! It is all our work, from articles and interviews to advertisements and photography. It is both exciting and nerve-racking! I have yet to decide on the name of my magazine, partly because I haven’t decided on the exact mood I want to portray. For the major article, we will be interviewing someone from the design industry. There is also a smaller article where we will interview a small, local business as well. We just began working on ideas for our advertisements, which should also connect with our overall magazine mood. It is a lot to think about!
I am leaning more into doing a magazine published in autumn. I want it to feel kind of cozy with the small business article, possibly being a coffee company from my hometown. I have an idea for a cute candle advertisement based on a photo I took last year for a photography class. Since it would also be in autumn, I thought I could use a senior class photo I took of my cousin in her cheerleading outfit because it is football season.
