We were asked to watch a you tube tutorial on how to work In Design in order to have more independent learning and to not rely on the teacher to teach us everything. This you tube tutorial helped me because it gave clear instructions on how to work the program.

After we had learned the basics of In Design, we then made our own professional magazine covers in which we created a replica of one that had already existed. I tried to get it as close to the magazine as I could including the right font that ‘NME’ use.

• I think I got the NME font correct and I think I kept as close to the real size as I could.
• In order to improve, I think I could have chosen a better image as the one that I chose was quite blurry and is not the same image as the magazine
• i also could have got the colors a bit more accurate. For example, the NME logo on the professional magazine is white and on mine it is red because of the image that I chose it would have been hard to do the masthead in white.

This will help me in my future tasks because I am now able to use In Design confidently and this will help me when it comes to creating my real music magazine because I will have practiced using the software and seen how a real magazine is created.

In my next task, I will need to think about what colors that I use and also the fonts, how big the font is and what image I will use. If I get all of this right then it will make my magazine more interesting for the audience that I will be aiming at.
