__** Wednesday, April 24-Wednesday, May 1: **__ You will put your image on the cover of a magazine of your choice. You will be graded on how believable the final image is. This is a difficult assignment to do well as it requires all your skills to make the final magazine look real. Once you decide which magazine you will be featured on, research what the covers have looked like in the past editions. You cannot use the same cover that has been used, but your cover should look very similar to be realistic.
