Create A Fictitious Magazine Spread Including The Magazine Front Cover

Create a fictitious magazine spread, including the magazine front cover and a two-page (facing pages) inside spread (the two pages in the center of the magazine), using a recent version of InDesign (CS5 or later) or an approved alternative electronic publishing software. You must create the design from scratch without using any templates. Submit a PDF version of your completed magazine spread, your InDesign (.INDD) original file, and all images, graphics, photos, clipart, or text files used in the creation of your work. Include a project reflection answering who your audience is, why your design is appropriate, the challenges faced, and the software used. This reflection can be submitted as a Word document. Your submission should include all required elements such as a magazine cover with specified elements (masthead, slogans, cover lines, photo, UPC barcode, date, URL), and a two-page inside spread containing a feature article with multiple subheadings, body copy, images, captions, column guides, styles, and page elements like page numbers and footers. Ensure all elements adhere to size, placement, and formatting specifications, including bleed size, column layout, and text styles. The entire project must be designed from scratch, aligning with a chosen theme that fits the purpose of the magazine.
