Storytellers Magazine


Making a magazine is an interesting thing that I have ever done in my life. My distribution jobs were making the cover of magazine and also collecting some photos. I really enjoyed spending my time to draw the picture, because I needed to dig my creativity for making this kind of drawing. The style of the drawing is doodle style and I think all of us can learn it easily. However, I also encountered some difficult parts for collecting the photos because all of the members have different theme of story, so I had to see my old albums or Ellen's album (member who is responsible for photos too). Moreover, I also had some different idea about something that another member tried to design the background with her own way, but I realized that all of us have their own style for making a design, so I just trying to appreciate it. In the end, we still can cooperate with each other and I can feel that this assignment can make us recognize and understand other people's characteristic and also their preferences. I really excited to do this kind of assignment because we have to push our creativity. In my opinion, making a magazine also a kind of creating an art, mass media art!
