Magazine cover will only be one page
Develop a theme for the magazine (about yourself can be sports, music, food, hobbies, celebrity gossip, etc.)

Background selected cannot be black or white
Main image will be a COMPOSITE (may create that photo in Photoshop - images can come from anywhere - your own, scanned, the internet (be mindful of resolution size and obviously copyright issues)

Must have a title (something related to the theme)
Must have a barcode (may use the one attached or make your own!), cost of issue, issue number, and volume number
Must include two graphics of yourself

A large graphic to be used as part of the background/Main subject


Must have main bold graphic image that dominates the layout.
A smaller graphic to be included on the side as part of a heading

Must include an additional graphic as part of a heading to use as an article teaser

Will be a graphic without a background

Must have at least four headings for articles

Easy to read, and appropriate sizes
Use initial caps, NO all caps (exception is the title)
These will be different sizes, fonts, colors (does not have to be)
Can apply text effects too
Consider putting a by-line under one of the headings (who wrote the story)

May use filters (consider a spotlight or lens flare on the main picture)
