Working as the art intern at Glow Magazine was an amazing opportunity. I was given the chance to go behind the scenes and witness all that goes into putting together a fashion/beauty publication. I learned a lot from the team at Glow, but the most important thing I learned is that nothing at a magazine is ever touched by only one person. Everything there was a collaborative effort, which is one of the many reasons I am so fascinated with the publishing industry.
From June to August, I lent a hand in the production of three separate issues of the magazine. Some of my tasks included photo research, prop creation, and dropping photo and written content into pre-designed page layouts.
Towards the end of my time at Glow, I was given the tremendous opportunity to help design the Table of Contents page for the October 2016 issue. With a little bit of help and reworking, the Contents page was completed, and I am glad to have left a few of my fingerprints on the layout. I chose images, colours, and headlines that were ultimately included in the final design.
