InDesign Project

Magazine Cover & Article

You will create a magazine cover with you as the main feature, based on your interests, hobbies or achievements. For example: Your teacher might be featured on Education Week, maybe an athlete on Sports Illustrated, or someone who is interested in starting their own business on Money Magazine. In addition, you will write a 2 page article about yourself.

Refer back to all of the InDesign Challenges for reminders of the tools and skills you've learned.

You need to use good quality, high-resolution photos of yourself and the other items that will go on your magazine cover and in your article.
