The students have made their individual stories and designed the magazine during a six weeks’ workshop at DMJX.
During the first seven days, the students attended classes at DMJX and did research for their stories. Over a period of two and a half weeks, the students worked in the field collecting material for their stories. Finally, they finished texts, pictures and layout over two weeks at DMJX.
