Cosmopolitan And Femina Magazines
Layout Artist
Cosmopolitan and Femina magazines are possibly South Africa's most successful monthly lifestyle magazines for women.
My responsibility was to produce regular, attractive and elegant layouts for each magazine every month. After only 3 months I was introduced to an Apple Macintosh SE (April 1990). I soon realised that what I was doing with a wax machine, NT cutter and lightbox, I could do digitally with a Mac and have far greater design choices and control. That was it. I loved my Mac.
