Personal Manifesto Magazine
2023Turned a group of students from diverse backgrounds (Portugal, Poland, Hungary and the Netherlands) who barely knew each other into a high-performing publishing team, making a full-fledged self-improvement magazine.
Summary:
As a part of my Creative Business studies at Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas) we were tasked to make a magazine.
This was the first group project of my studies and the team had assigned me as the project manager. It was (partly) my responsibility to make this group of people from different nationalities and backgrounds feel like a coherent high-performing publishing team. A scary, but fulfilling role.
But something that had worked out in the end. It led to the Personal Manifesto magazine. The #1 year 1 self-improvement magazine! (I think). Shoutout to everyone that made this work!

A subject close to my heart
The hardest part of the project was agreeing on a subject for it. Everyone had their own ideas on what they wanted to write about. But after some long discussions we found a subject we could all relate to: self improvement.
Partly because we were incredibly motivated and ambitious students passionate about our development, but mostly because it was still vague/broad enough to write about almost anything.
I was particularly excited about this subject, because in the Covid period I had dealt with quite some anxiety with which self-improvement content had helped me.
“Photoshop Specialist”
Every group had 1-2 so called ‘Photoshop specialist’, as one of these specialist I had the task to make the cover and the backcover for the magazine. After quite some revisions and some great coaching and guidance from @ivopintoduarte, who’s a way better designer than I’ll ever be, I created the following design.
