I have chosen to do the magazine project. I chose to do this project because it will be a new thing that I can learn and maybe use later in life. Some skills that i possess that i can contribute to the magazine project would be my photography skills which will help with the photo shoot. Another, skill I can contribute would be my ability to interview people with questions about the certain topic our magazine will focus on.

Another skill that would be useful would be my photography skills. I enjoy taking photos and could take them for our photo shoots for the magazine. Some aspects that might be a challenge are meeting certain deadlines. This is because we might get behind or our guest who we are interviewing doesn't show up or isn't reliable. To continue, I am not good at brainstorming when we have to think about ideas to write about.
