We took the profile we did in English and Made a magazine in Design using the programs Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop provided by Freestyle Academy to create my magazine. The use of InDesign was to combine all the elements of the magazine together, such as the the photos I edited in Photoshop, the illustrations I created in Illustrator and the text in written in Google docs. The struggles I faced when putting all my magazine together was piecing together consistent design elements and choosing an appropriate design for my profile person. However, I did succeeded on finding a good font and learning new ways edit text. If I had a chance to change the creation of the process, I would have brainstormed on paper the design beforehand.
