Students created original magazine covers that combine imaginative concepts with the structure of professional editorial design. Using photography, digital illustration, or original Photoshop artwork, they developed attention-grabbing covers featuring mastheads, headlines, cover lines, and strong focal imagery. Through contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity, typography, and visual hierarchy, students learned to organize information while establishing a distinctive publication identity. Each design was prepared as a camera-ready PDF with crop marks and printer’s marks, taking the project from creative concept to press-ready artwork.
