This week I was given the task to copy a magazine cover of my choice using in-design. However as I could not find the exact replica of the magazine to replicate myself, I had to choose a different cover to copy. Because of this I had to move around some text and titles so that it did not obstruct the Artist’s face.

This task has has helped me learn the basic features of InDesign which will help me when creating my tour poster as I will have a basic understanding of how to create it. This has also helped me comprehend typical magazine layouts.

Examples

• Masthead
• Cover lines
• size,width and colour of the text

Strengths of my replication

• General text placement was good to say the image wasn’t an exact replica of her magazine
• Changes a lot of the text colour so that it was visible with the white background
• Writing is in the correct places 

Weaknesses of my replication 

• Fonts are not exactly the same as the original 
• Could of added in the bar-code which could have been easily done 
• Spacing between the letters
• Text at the top right is not in the frame of the magazine
• Text displayed ‘Rihanna’ has box around which could be easily taken out

Below are some YouTube videos which I found helped me with creating my replicated magazine
