My Project

In a society where mental health is increasingly recognized as a vital aspect of wellbeing, this project seeks to combine the realms of fashion marketing and photography to create impactful magazine covers that promote mental health awareness.

Through this initiative, students will learn valuable skills while using their creativity to start important conversations about mental health.

This project will utilize the power of magazine covers to highlight mental health themes, encouraging dialogue and understanding within the community.

It will equip students with hands-on experience in fashion marketing, photography, and graphic design, preparing them for future careers in print and digital marketing industries.

Students will work in teams to create magazine covers that feature their designs alongside powerful mental health messages.

This project requires the use of a camera to take still photographs for the magazine covers. A color printer to print quality photos. Photography back drops to enhance photos and more.

Students will be able to keep the magazine covers and frame them and hopefully feel better about themselves and their mental health.
