Learning The Tools In Studio Works!

Introduction to Studio Works and Its Tools   After identifying and deciding and understanding the theme of our magazine, our teacher introduced us to Studio Works. This is the platform that we would be using to build and design our magazines.

Brainstorming Ideas!

When doing this assignment, I noticed that you can't really understand what the author needs you to without having copy. Copy is the main part of a magazine since it is what draws in the reader and entertains them. Without this the reader will be both bored and left with confusion.  Example of the pre assessment:  Example of the Notes We Took on the Steps and Tips on Making Your Co...
