Unfinished Terrible Assignment the Won in the battle against Carlie Bagley

Magazine Spread

The goal of this assignment was to create a 4 page magazine spread. I've included the cover, two inside pages, and the back. I wanted to keep this layout pretty simple, and easy to navigate. 

Designed My First Magazine Cover!

First InDesign Exercise

Grass On The Other Side

The first photo is my piece for the appropriation project entitled "Grass on the Other Side." The second image is a famous work by Norman Rockwell entitled "Girl at the Mirror." 

I am a firm believer that all people are beautiful, and it hurts me daily to see people (girls especially) feel inferior to their peers. This work by Rockwell has always gripped me with a sense of truthfulness, and I thought I could use its concept to make my own statement about beauty. I hope that my piece will cause viewers to think critically about what makes someone beautiful. Is there a certain type of beauty that seems to be most admired among society? Are we neglecting to notice our own beauty on our quest to look and act more like those around us? Is our perception of other people's beauty even accurate, or is it tainted by our own insecurities? 

I'm a bit of a naturalist, if you hadn't noticed. 

A little beaneath us.

In this exercise we just had to upload a link to a photo sharing sight onto our blog. Here's the link to the facebook photo you see above. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2887666803873&set=a.1394793442972.51058.1626276313&type=3&theater

Step by step exercise. Simple, and I learned to use a quick mask which makes everything a LOT easier.
