Must include:
Top- Name of magazine with their logo- you can use google images to get the logo, just make sure it's high resolution! Here is the link to the quick youtube clip on how to download high resolution images.
Names of articles within the magazine- make sure it stays within the style of the magazine.
Bar code on the bottom right or bottom left- don't make it TOO large or too small (can use google images for one- also make sure it's high resolution)
Make sure the style is similar to what you would find on the magazine- find some images of the covers to emulate what they do!
DO NOT use a magazine template you find on the web. They are poor resolution and the whole project's goal is for you to figure out how to recreate a magazine on your own with fonts, color, size etc.
You are welcome to change the background to something of your choice- another color, or pattern, or landscape etc- artist's choice. Just make sure you can read the headlines and it doesn't distract from the portrait!
