For my Visual Communications class, I was given the opportunity to create a magazine project that would showcase my skills in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. I am coffee obsessed, so I knew instantly I had to make a coffee magazine. From there, I created Crema Co Magazine, which is a magazine dedicated to coffee lovers across the Midwest. 

 

I had a great time working on this project because it allowed me to explore my creativity and utilize the tools and features of Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. I created the magazine from scratch and used my skills in graphic design to create visually appealing pages that would catch the reader's attention. I also learned a lot of new brainstorming skills and how to deal with the infamous blank page. 

 

This project proved to be a challenging experience for me as it required me to incorporate specific requirements and elements into my magazine, much like a real-world scenario with client demands. However, I was excited about the opportunity to simulate such work experience as it allowed me to enhance my skills and become more proficient in handling client demands.

 

Overall, I had a lot of fun working on this project, and it was a great learning experience for me. It helped me to become more proficient in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, and I'm proud of the finished product. Crema Co Magazine is a beautiful, visually appealing magazine that would be perfect for coffee lovers who appreciate great design.
