  • What did take your attention?
  • What are the basic features of creating a magazine?
  • What is the most important thing while designing a magazine?
  • Do you have an idea that how these magazine are designed?

The trainer and the groups discuss these questions and the trainer asks; Would you like to design your own magazine?
It is expected to get the answer “yes”. Then the trainer asks “Do you know how to design your own magazine?” and “Which steps should you follow?”.
