My magazine Design
Magazine example
In this task we were allocated a magazine to copy and design using in-design and taught how to use the softer wear as we learning about the various tools and skills you can use to made prints. I was given the magazine front page of Kendrick Lamar published by NME. why aim was the recreate the magazine front page to the finest detail, using the skill i had just be taught. I copy mostly everything apart from the backing image as that didn’t matter in the task that we were given. I started by getting a background image of Kendrick for the magazine then cropped it to fit in the a4 print and adjusted him to make him to where i would be putting the mask head etc. i then added all the texts and barcode around him as closely to the example as possible for the best result.
Three thing I did well:
- The main cover title is highly eye catching and matches the example and background closely as-well as being proportionate to the rest of the texts.
2. The cover line fix well around his head and i added a fade from the right side to make the magazine look attractive and high quality.
3. The NME logo top left is well representing of the real magazine and took along time to find the right font, to closely resemble the original. along with positioning the date next to the the logo.
Things I could to better:
- I could have chosen a better background image as back and white can be very hard to work around in colours of text.
During this task I learn high important skills that I will be able to use in my own magazine design process.
