Download archive ⬇️ Osqledaren is Sweden’s largest technical student magazine. Over the course of my one-year journey with Osqledaren, I took on a variety of roles, starting with photographer, illustrator, and layouter for the first issue. In the second issue, I collaborated with others to write and illustrate an article. By the third issue, I was writing an article independently, and by the final issue in 2024, I designed the cover of the magazine. My experience covered all aspects of magazine production, and throughout this time, I gained a diverse set of skills.
OoOps, that’s all!
