Magazine Reflection

1. What went well for you during the process of creating this magazine?
I think that everything went well. I had a lot of critiques from my classmates and teacher, which made it so much better. Another thing that went great was my layout. I thought I wasn’t going to be able to use InDesign, but I did and looks great.

2. What challenges did you face as you moved from an early draft or idea to a final product? One of the challenges that I had was that at first I couldn’t think of what to put in my magazine. I first wanted to use my mentor interview, but thought it was going to be simple. I decided to use my photo essay with a very descriptive introduction.

3. What other examples of work—student and professional—stood out as exemplary and served as a good model for your own work? Something that helped me a lot was looking at magazines. It gave me good ideas for my layout, and gave me ideas for my writing as well. On if the magazines that really helped me was National Geographic and The New Yorker.
