The biggest challenge I face right now in designing my magazine is accumulating scrap. Scrap is a designer term for a collection of photos you can use while mocking up a design – photos of fashion, architecture, interior design, famous people, etc. Scrap needs to be 1. interesting, 2. relevant, and 3. high resolution. It can involve emailing photographers and asking to use their photos for free.

That means you have to find them first! It's like a scavenger hunt in the world's most insanely gigantic park: the internet.
