Mockup of bogus publication submitted to a local newspaper as work sample when applying for a graphic design position several years ago. I designed and produced it in Adobe InDesign, incorporating my original illustrations and photos.

Nevada County Gardening is a totally bogus publication intended only to demonstrate to the Union
Newspaper that I am a qualified candidate for the graphic designer position currently being advertised.
(Although who knows, maybe there’s a market for this type of a publication).
