The aim of this project was to design a personalized and memorable magazine that would showcase the couple's journey, provide essential wedding information, and engage guests.

2. Project Background
The couple desired a unique and personalized touch for their wedding, seeking a creative way to share their story, wedding details, and collect RSVPs. The idea of a wedding magazine emerged as a way to achieve these goals, incorporating photos of the bride and groom, an RSVP QR code, and a section dedicated to their love story. Canva was chosen as the design platform due to its wide range of customizable templates, fonts, and design features.

4. Project Execution
The project was executed in several stages:
a) Gathering Content and Design Inspiration
The couple provided photos, wedding details, and their love story, which formed the foundation of the magazine. The design team also collected inspiration from wedding magazines, blogs, and Canva's template library to brainstorm design ideas and identify elements that resonated with the couple's vision.
b) Layout and Design
Canva's user-friendly interface and extensive template library were utilized to create the magazine's layout. The design team selected a template that aligned with the couple's wedding theme and customized it to incorporate their photos, RSVP QR code, and other personalized elements. Careful attention was given to typography, color schemes, and graphic elements to ensure consistency and evoke a romantic atmosphere.
