Rolling Stone Magazine Challenge
This challenge was a class assignment for a publication design class.
-The goal was to take a article/story from the Internet and design a 3 spread magazine article
-Sidebar story must be included on the second spread that is related to the first story
-Text, Headlines, Imagery, must be from the original stories
-Keeping the Rolling Stones branding identity was optional
-This is an exercise in print publication design using Adobe InDesign with predetermined text and imagery .
With the popularity of superhero movies, video games, tv series and comic books in the past decade, Batman's birthday seemed like a noteworthy event.

Note: I chose to maintain the branding identity of the Rolling Stones magazine as an extra challenge to design within strict limitations. This also served as a master study to reverse engineer the reasoning behind the decision making of the Rolling Stones publication design team.
