Solution: Created a fall magazine using warm tones to get in that "Fall" feeling and emphasizing the importance of food during the month of November. I added titles with different colors emphasizing the main words or important words of that line. 

My magazine design has an aerial view because these will create interest in consumers, blog Indesign Skills states “Make a drastic change to the angle of your photos for instant interest. Aerial shots are on-trend and utterly absorbing”

Result: I created a Magazine call the socialite in which includes food, drink, decor, and host tips for the person who likes to host parties year round but fail to get ideas to create a memorable evening.
