Module 4 Project





Magazine Layout Spread - 
This was a difficult project for me. I had no idea the amount of work it would take to layout text and pictures. I decided to go with a very simple layout with a few embellishments on my headings. My thought was that this layout would be attractive to young, modern, singles.
