Hi folks,

Monday we'll do a photography lecture and practice a little more with Photoshop with some photos I will provide.

Wednesday we'll work on a magazine cover -- each person will create their own, so you will need to bring a photo that you've taken. 

The magazine itself can be something you come up with -- it can have to do with Drake or just something you are interested in.

What I would recommend is having a person on the cover -- perhaps a closeup or a waist-up shot. Have them doing something related to what your magazine is about. Look for "good light" when you shoot it, and avoid using the camera flash inside. Even if you don't have the best camera, if you find nice, bright light (outside!), usually the photo will look pretty good. (also make sure your camera is set to the largest file size possible)

Leave some room for the magazine title at the top -- and shoot multiple versions so you have some choices when you go to create the cover. I'd say shoot 10 or more and it will give you some good options. 

We'll edit the photos in Photoshop and then bring them into InDesign to add the type.
