I just wanted to share a magazine spread design I did themed around CircuitPython for my final exam for InDesign CC at Uni. It was a four-hour exam but felt like fifteen minutes because I enjoyed working with the content. I took the photos from the Adafruit Flickr, It was a great resource ! Thank you and to the rest of the Adafruit team for serving as an inspiration to many of my design school projects.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Hey Timothy! Just wanted to say, and let you know, that this spread looks amazing. Actually, no. It looks A-MA-ZING! When I saw it pop up on the “Ask An Engineer” replay, I was ready to go check out the magazine/article.
When they said it was a design project for a fictitious magazine/spread, I was blown away at how pro it looked! Reminded me of something similar my wife had to do a while back for her graphic design degree.
If I had to make a single minor suggestion, that the OCD hamster in my head spotted, it’s the page numbering, which felt “off” starting at 1. Otherwise, really great job, and I have no doubt you’ve gotten a good grade for this project, and will go far with your skills and talent.
