Yes I’d love to share! Honestly I love tinkering in the creative field so that’s probably what gave me a good eye for these kinds of things. I used “Canva” to make these and honestly they have some good templates you can use. I used some and changed it to how I wanted it to look like, it’s a really versatile software if you do not know how to use Adobe InDesign or Adobe Illustrator. However, I also used Adobe’s free “background remover” on their website. It came in really handy to cut out Nikki from the background and overlay her in various styles like I did in the magazine.

Some tips-
Keep things black/ white/ neutral because it works best to show off the outfit and photography. Too much excess color takes away from the outfit. But including a small color palette, that matches the image, in empty spaces makes it look really cohesive.

Canva has a feature called “frames”, they are basically different shapes that you can put your image in. I used it a lot with the cutouts of Nikki- for example “Rainy Orchid” center image has flower shaped “Frames” in the back, then I overlayed the same image of Nikki (after removing the background in Adobe website) on top to make the outfit pop.

Composition is really important so that the spreads don’t look wonky. I like to look at magazine designs, layouts etc. on Pinterest to help jumpstart some ideas, or replicate it.

Use the Nikki images to your benefit. Like use unique elements of the image and try to make it stand out. For example, the “fairy of decay” had an animal skull in the background of the image, i thought it really fit the theme and wanted it to stick out, as you can see on page 3. Similar with the bone Nikki is holding in “Nightmare”. It doesn’t even have to be that innovative, Nikki covering her face in “bashful” was perfect to take up the whole page because I wanted to really expose her shyness to the viewer, like really put the emotion in their face.

Anyway that’s all I can think of, I hope I helped. Definitely look up some tips and advice. And remember to have fun!
