Description
ERA magazine was a collaborative group project that I worked on with a couple of my classmates at GMU. Our goal was to research content and then design an entire magazine. My group decided to do a fashion magazine focusing on various eras of fashion and the culture that surround each era. This topic was outside of my areas of expertise but I was excited to take on the challenge.
My Process
I was responsible for creating cover designs, full page spreads, illustrations, typography and more. This project helped me learn what it takes to work as part of a team. I grew my communication skills by learning when I could compromise on a design and when to really stand up for what I felt would be the most successful design. One person in my group had a strong vision for the magazine which I was able to execute perfectly. I am someone who is adaptable, if someone needs to step up as a project leader, I can do that. Yet, I am also comfortable using my skills to help other's plans succeed as well for the good of the group.
