“Your coursework task is simple. Make a magazine from scratch. Cover to cover everything in it has to be your work.”
A simple task, make a magazine. But what style do you go for? Is it for a general audience or a focused one? What balance between copy and imagery do you strike? How do you lay it out? The list of questions you find yourself asking yourself when faced with this task is seemingly insurmountable. Mix into that half of the alloted time for the project being in lockdown, so some concepts become unachievable and it becomes a challenge indeed. Still, we did it, and you can read it online.

Spanning beyond writing about wildlife to cover the kit a wildlife photographer and zoologist might want in the field.
And what magazine is complete without an advert. This and others were made for Affinity.
