hey i did a magazine this year. youll get sick of it so quickly!
i did one that one that was written by teens for teens cuz they is nothing else like that in australia.

i did work experiance at cleo for it, it didn't really help very much except that i could do a case study on it for my folio and i could compare how i made mine to commercial practices.

printing it is a bitch i got it done at office works and i had it on publisher 2003 and they have publisher 2000 so the whole format changed so i had to buy this pdf converter and that cost like $100 bucks. this all happened like a week before it was due so i advise getting the thing printed way before is due to advovied problems.

some parts of the folio are hard like evidence of experiments and stuff.

um thats about all i can think of hope it sorta helps

thanks you guys. i'll think a bit more about whether i want to do a magazine. I don't want many problems, since i'll have 3 major works to do.

3 major works.. been there, done that :) It may seem a but overwhelming but u'll survive just remember to plan your time wisely and dont stress too much about it. thats the mistake that I made and it takes time away from the production of the majors. Once they're done you'll wonder what all the fuss was about. U'll be fine, goodluck and most of all HAVE FUN :)

Just a quick question... what kinds of experiments have you guys done for magazines? I've completed several, but my teacher informed me that there were lots more I could do.
