Final Layout










Our final was to create a two-page spread for stories other students who traveled to Peru over winter break had written. The story I was assigned was about a marketplace located in Cuzco which is called the, "Inca Jungle."

I was supplied with only one photo which I toned and cropped. I created my own illustration of Peru to show where Cuzco was located for travelers wishing to visit the "Jungle." I also added a sidebar to display how you can get in contact and visit the "Inca Junlge."

I had to use multiple pull-out quotes because the story was shorter than usual. To make sure I had as little white space as I could manage I used captions, a large heading and the pull-out quotes to fill the spaces.

Wanderer Cover Design




Part of our final was to create a magazine cover design. I chose the option of the big bold heading over the more creative heading. I felt that it was crisper and more professional looking.

I chose to add effects to the subheads for all the inside stories and used different colors to make them pop. I know when I am looking for magazines I generally buy the one that catches my eye, and this is definitely eye catching.
