So I didn't completely intend to take a second semester of graphic design (animal and wildlife drawing was full, it's always full as you can imagine) but I'm glad I did because I feel a lot more confident about designing now, and I'm a lot happier with these projects than I am with the ones I did the previous semester. I took it with Chen Wang again, also unintentionally (it was listed as Staff when I registered) and this time all of our projects where components of Green Magazine, an imaginary (only not, because there is at least one real magazine with that name) publication about eco-friendliness.

I was supposed to use InDesign for these, but I don't have it and don't have hundreds of dollars to buy it. I just did my best with the text in Illustrator, so I know I have a bunch of straggly text things happening (I already forgot the design jargon for it). Other than that I'm really happy with these.
