One tip of the article was to plan ahead. I followed the layout of the articles to draw my sketches. Another tip was to have inspiration. My inspiration was fall because this is my first year not experiencing my favorite season. I guess you could call it "Autumn Time Sadness." The masthead stands for Creative Minds Think Alike. I chose this because i want this magazine to be about crafts that can be done with the family and style for upcoming cold autumn days. I'm  really into the holiday of Halloween and Thanksgiving so I wanted to include a mix of both. A tip that I really tried to work on was detail. I made sure the kids looked like they were actually walking down this dirt road while trick or treating. I also made sure that you could read the letters on the magazine. It was hard because the letters would start to blend in with the back round of the leaves. All in all I really enjoyed this project. I liked the fact that I was free to design the magazine however I wanted and make it what ever I wanted it to be. I would definitely read this magazine if I saw it in a store!

These are my 3 logos for The Marching Ants. I really wanted to include a group of ants to make it look like they are marching. The tools I used for this were mainly the magic wand, free transform, the paint bucket,  and I used a warped and 3-D tool for the text. I used derivative workings because I took other peoples creations and added them into my own. This is still legal. For the first two logos I wanted to make the letters look like they were 3 dimensional, making it seem as if the ants were carrying food.
