The assignment that was given was to create a magazine cover. We were told we need to create the cover using photo shop. We were also told that we had to put a picture of ourself on it, even if the picture didn't include out faces, and we had to put headlines on the cover like the real magazines have. The steps I took to create my cover was: first I went into photoshop. Then I search on google looking for a good title for my magazine and what color I wanted the title. I then used the lasso tool to move the title of the magazine from one page to the other. I chose the color of the background I wanted and I waited to take my picture so that it was one of the last things I put on.

         My magazine cover is yellow with some made up headlines, though one or two are true. My magazine also has a picture of me on it with the title being Seventeen. The magazine also has some of the characteristics a real magazine would. It has color, picture, headlines, and a barcode. The headlines are done in all different types of fonts and styles. 

          Through my magazine I was trying to communicate my personality. I tried communicating the meaning by making the color of my cover bright. That explains my personality on a day that I'm down or mad. I also chose the title Seventeen not only because seventeen is my age, but also because I like the Seventeen magazines because most of the people in the magazines are teenagers or just reaching adulthood so it's easier to understand how things are at a that age.

           I think I engaged well in this project because I was in class all the time and I work on my project everytime I was in class. I think i could've made my magazine more interesting by adding better designs and not making it so plain. I used all the tools that were useful for this project. I did my best with communication through my magazine cover but I believe i could've done better. The areas I could improve on are invention and communication.
