    After studying magazine covers and learning how the Principles of Design are used in them, students are free to make their own magazine cover with any one, or combination of, the following software: Illustrator, Photoshop, and/or Indesign.

    Students must use a "COBed" photo of a person or object that has been taken in our studio as part of the cover design. The teacher demonstrates how to use the studio photo equipment during class and how easy it is to COB (Cut Out the Background) a studio shot.

    (Distance learning students will need to use a photo they take at home. Some home studio set-up tips can be found in this Photo class lesson and the video referenced in it.)

    The magazine cover must include the following:
  • Magazine name in large text
  • 2 or more text blocks describing articles in the magazine (no more than two fonts used on mag cover!)
  • Good use of at least 2 Design Principles
  • COBed photo taken by you
  • Magazine date, barcode and website
