For this assignment, we are required to create a persona. This person is a user of Varoom magazine, and our designs must appeal to them.

—— Research ——

I did a bit of research by looking at demographic statistics in the design industry and drew some conclusions as to what my user should resemble:

I decided that my user should be someone in the design industry, probably under the age of 30, who wants to stay connected and keep up with trends, and who is educated, organized, unique, and creative.
