I have finally finished my magazine. 1 front cover, 3 articles, 3 visuals, and 1 back cover. I did it. I am super proud of myself for all that I accomplished. I finally made something that represents not only my creativity, but also what I believe in. This project has also given me the confidence to know that I can start something from the sketches all the way to the final file, and have every single word and design come from me. I am so thankful that I trusted my gut and chose this as my final project. But most of all, I am glad that I learned that it is okay to use your experiences to influence your creative work.

This week is starting to pull everything together. I finished my graphic about technology and phones and got it laid out in InDesign. After figuring out the layout for the type, I will only need to type my last article, a graphic to go along with that, and a back cover. I chose a topic for my last article and that is "Expression". I wasn't to end my mini magazine with a whole section of it being devoted to loving yourself, and learning how to let your emotions out. Some graphics I was thinking of implementing is adding some scans of my own personal journals. I think this could go really cool or really cluttered. Ill figure it out I guess.

I want to have a picture of m jumping off of a wall with my arms up with really bold colors and then over the picture in bold type I want it to say "Finally Free". I think that will allow for a good story line throughout the whole thing. I am glad that I finally have my vision an...

This week I was really productive. I got a lot of things accomplished that started piecing my final product together. I finished one article titled "Screens", so now I only have one more big article to write, but I would like to design some fun graphics to spice up the information a little. Along with getting on article completed I was able to finish the cover and the first two pages of my magazine. I am super excited for all the knowledge I am learning about writing, and InDesign. By the end of this week I hope to have selected and started my last article topic, and put together a few more pages that include some graphics and "Screens". Next week is the final week and I am very pleased with where I am right now I just need to keep reaching my goals!
