Magazine Layout Project
For my magazine layout I decided I wanted to do a sort of beauty magazine that focused on natural, simple beauty. I then decided to use Jennifer Aniston for the article and spread because she is the celebrity that comes to mind when thinking of these characteristics. I picked an article that was from "Rolling Stone" magazine, which described how far Aniston has come in her life and that she is just like any other person. I decided to do an extra spread because I felt it brought the entire layout together.
Jamie, You're pictures in the magazine are amazing! It was a great idea to find wall paper images. I can definitely see these spreads being in Elle or Glamour or something. Great job!!

Be sure to do a "Save link as" when you download these files from this site. These are template files, so you have to use the "Save As" to create your own file from them once you start.
Also, don't forget the printer's marks option when you go to print - it will help you in trimming the files.

I think this looks so real, like I just picked up a Cosmo. The whole spread is very clean and fresh and I can tell a lot of hard work went into it.
