Ever since I was little girl, I always had my hands fiddling with some kind of brush or crayon most of the time creating absolute chaos. Sometimes the messes I would with my kid friendly paint would send my mother in to a temporally coma. As I grew older and older those little habits turned into an artistic spark.

My father has been a passionate model train railroader, and from childhood, I watched him create intricate miniature toys and houses in various scales. Spending countless hours observing his craftsmanship sparked my fascination with detailed, hands-on projects.

So in the end I decided to do a magazine that focuses on crafts that which are made from eco friendly things like jewelry and bags.

Over time, I was drawn to watching YouTube videos of people creating different crafts, which further fueled my creativity. Inspired by both my father’s work and these videos, I began experimenting with making crafts at home in my leisure time.

As time went on, I got busy with various school work and other responsibilities. This led me to have little to no time take time to myself to do things that. But I wanted to keep my creative juices flowing so I explored countless arts n’ crafts content. Content such as how to make DIY crafts, painting on wood etc.Image credit via Google images
Then I came to AS level and choose media studies. At first I didn’t know what genre of magazine I would choose. Then after procrastinating for a bit I asked myself, “what if I created a magazine involving some form of art?”. Then after doing some research I found out there are quite a lot of craft magazine types which I formed some interest to.Planning

Learning outcome:
Working on this project has helped me gain a clearer understanding of the key elements I need to focus on. It made me realize the level of planning and effort required for each segment of the magazine, such as organizing photo shoots, editing images, designing layouts, writing content, and coordinating the overall visual flow.
Through this process, I also became more aware of how important it is to manage time effectively and maintain consistency in style and tone throughout the magazine. It’s not just about showcasing beautiful crafts, but also about telling a story that highlights the value of eco-conscious living and handmade artistry.
