Magazine Covers

In 3dom, we have designed and created magazine covers all about who we are. Imagine if you had a magazine created about you and your life. What would it be called? 

We first looked at examples of excellent magazine covers. We broke these down and decided on key elements we would need to create our own. This formed our WILF or success criteria. 

We then had a tutorial on how to use Pages to create these covers. We learned lots of tips and tricks like how to use Instand Alpha and the benefits of choosing a 'blank canvas' rather than a 'word processing' doc.
