I have texted Josie before the holiday so she can send me all the articles and interview so I can make a draft layout. However, she not replying to me until Thursday when I had to ask Chris and Emma to contact to her. But i have create a sticker pack when i’m in holiday so we have something to promote our magazine and sell to gain fund. I also made some collages and retouched photos that can go to the magazine. Because I don’t have any articles so I can’t do much.
I also contact to Leah-graphic designer in group chat but she ignored me twice again. So I had to take the work myself. It was such a hard job for me as I’m not good at graphic and Indesign. My flatmate Stella helps me a lot with graphic and I had to use her laptop as well because my laptop isn’t strong enough. We brainstorm ideas for each articles and interviews how they should be layout in the magazine. Unfortunately, i can’t ask my group cause they are very slow and we already late compare to other groups so I just have to decide everything myself.
Because of the shortage of time, I haven’t made many experiments so some layouts don’t look very nice. However in overall I think they look not too bad and still readable.
