Reflection-

1.In this assignment we had to make a magazine cover. We had to make a cover story about us then we had to put three side stories.

2.The first thing I did was find a locker background,took a picture of myself and cut it out with he magic wand, then I created text boxes with stories in them. Then I had to find pictures that match the story. After that I found a barcode and did a price and publish date.

3.I felt like I did really good on this assignment. I think I did good because to me it looks like a magazine cover.
