I'm in, too. I have heaps of photographs, it is a matter of deciding which folder to use this time.

Susan, the oddity of the fonts you have chosen makes them quite cohesive in your project. They all appear to have the same unusual features, which I enjoy.

I love what you are creating with your magazine, Susan, and the fonts on each page are wonderfully interesting..

Yes, Jannette, it has been a wonderful way to enjoy the differences in our lives, from our computers.

Wow, this looks great, Monique. Canva is another choice for showing off our magazines.

Fabulous, Corrie. It is good to show your work all in one magazine. Thank you, Corrie.

Art, close to where I live there is an area called Niagara. It is part of a beautiful scenic coastal route in Southland, named the Catlins. Yes, there are waterfalls in Niagara, and, yes, they also have a sign pointing to the Niagara Falls! https://southlandnz.com/listing/niagara-falls-manga-piri/189/ You can see them, and the fall might be about 5-6 inches! It is probably a rapid rather than a waterfall. It is stated the 'falls' were named by a surveyor with a sense of humour.

Thanks, Jen, I learn something new every day

I've watched TV programmes on that trip, it looks wonderful...one day...perhaps

Day 7 I chose to re-create the cover on the back. Using a photograph taken on that same day we travelled over Mount Hope, we popped across the road to another farm that comes under the umbrella of Mount Hope Station. It is run by one of the sons currently. It encompasses the creek, Shingle Creek that goes down to the Clutha River. Far in the distance is a mail boat that brings cyclists to the cycle trail and wanders around the lakeside and across farmland before joining the main highway through this part of Central Otago. I created 3 different back covers, with the photograph cut into 1, 2, and 3 pieces. I chose a single image in the end. I stayed with white borders and chose to do all text in the green, with the title and body copy aligned right, in the panel.

Jen, should the second-page title read, With?

Carolyn, I clicked on the colour I wanted, then, using the flood fill tool, I carefully placed the tip on the border and the colour changed to that which I had chosen.

Day 3 re-done

Day 2 re-done I altered the headline text to Lemon Milk, the headline font used on all other pages. I think it improves the page, and brings it into line with the others.

Day 6 I'm all caught up, at last. I had another photograph of the cattle in their summer retreat, this one overlooking the township of Roxburgh, in Central Otago.

You are using some beautiful photographs, Connie. They are all so clean and clear, and they are cropped so well.

Day 5 On that day at Mount Hope, near Roxburgh, I took heaps of photographs of things I can create textures from. This is one of our native ferns. The fern, or koru, signifies rebirth in the Maori culture.

Thank you, Carole, it isn't turning blue, so I wiggle and jiggle until I see my photograph show in the layers palette. It is taking some getting used to, I'll get there, I know.

Day 4 - next page in double-page spread. I found mosses scattered on rocks, grasses, and in all sorts of places.

Day 4 double-page spread This was not so easy, finding 3 photos that worked together. I'm finding it fascinating trying to clip images to the photo placeholder...they don't, until I jiggle them around then, voila...there they go! I have no idea what I did differently! I realise, too, I have been using the copy text font, Century, in headings on pages 2 and 3! Duh!!! Because they are so large I have reduced them to 550 pixels, and will add them here separately.

I'm doing all mine in Affinity. I plan to get to the PSP ones once completed in Affinity.

Day 3 Many cottages in Central Otago are made from schist, a stone quarried in the area over the years. Early settlers and miners used schist to build their homes. Central Otago is renowned for gold mining and was settled by miners who travelled from China and California. The ramshackle hut in this photograph is now used for mustering. Schist is a beautiful stone, and weathers well. Roofs, don't weather so well, as shown in my cover image where the roof is missing in action. I added an outline around both words and the outline around 'stoney' was so pixelated, I erased it. This doesn't seem to show in the yellow lettering.

Me, too, Donna, I was just thinking that when your comment came around.

I was young, and daring back then, in my 20s. We didn't go tandem in those days, a static line was attached to our chutes and we didn't have to do anything, except relax and roll when the grass jumped up at us! It is a beautiful, and peaceful experience, Diane.
