My magazine front page swede
In the past few lessons we had learnt the basics on the software app called indesign about how to edit and make magazines working towards are music magazine. Our task was to try and recreate a magazine poster the best we can. I was given the magazine of NME my chemical romance.
Below is the original copy of the magazine
Here is my version of the magazine
Overall from this task, I now feel confident using indesign and getting the right techniques. I also feel confident knowing where everything is and using these skills to create my music magazine. When looking at the two side by side they look very similar and it is quite hard to tell them apart.The only main difference is the gap on the left side from the title and Suede comeback interview writing.
Three things that I did well were….
- I feel like that my attempt at the front cover was not far off the real one.
- I am happy with the layout of the cover and how everything is close to the real one.
- I managed to get the all of the extra photos and boxes similar to the real one.
Three things I could have improved on are….
- Time management. Although my magazine looks good it took a long time to perfect it and next will need to work faster.
- I found it hard to get the right fonts for some of the writing parts.
- To learn what each thing in the tool bar does. I was relying lots on just the basics but once I got the hang of it i knew what to do and was able to add better editing in.
To conclude
For the future when working on my music magazine I feel like I have got the basics of Indesign and know a lot more then I did at the start of this task. But I know that they is still room to improve on my editing and leaning new and cool effects to get the extra marks on my work. Also how to work faster on the app as that was my main floor.
To improve on these things that I have listed I have chosen some videos on youtube to help me…
