Select a magazine genre such as sports, popular
weeklies, fashion, and so on.  For the remainder
of your individual assignments you will be
creating magazine pages for this genre, so be
sure to select a magazine genre that you are
interested in working with for several
weeks.  Research how your selected magazine genre
typically approaches layout and cover
design.  You can find videos on YouTube which
describe the design process for magazine.  I
recommend the series Design Like a Pro, which
gives step-by-step instructions on how to design
covers, advertisements, article layouts and
tables of contents.  Use this link to view these
videos as you create different pages throughout
the remainder of the course
