My Second First Time

After mastering (sort of) photoshop, I've now started to learn how to use InDesign.
This is the first page I made:

Finishing Up

Now I've finished my student magazine, I can start my real magazine, which is music-based. Instead of just a front cover and a contents page, I will have to do a double paged spread as well. I will be using another software called InDesign to make my pages, but I will still manipulate photos on Photoshop.

This magazine will be aimed at a different audience and I am very excited to start it!
