The point was to learn how to use in-design and to learn how magazine front pages are made. What I did well with in my magazine page was finding the right fonts to match them on the magazine page.

I copied a magazine cover of NME with Joe Strummer on it, unfortunately I couldn’t find the photo so I used a photo of Snoop Dog.

Three things I found easy were:

• Working out the sizing of the writing so it would all fit in the page and be in the same place.
• All the colours were simple to replicate onto my magazine.
• The masthead of my magazine looks similar to the real magazine.

However three things that didn’t go well were:

• I should’ve put more weight on some of the writing to make it a bit thicker as it looks thinner on my magazine.
• On some of the words it is not clearly visible because the words are too dark.
• I should’ve made the image black and white

•  

These are some videos that will help guide you to making a good magazine cover and will help me in the future with indesign.

In my photos I was focusing on the different ranges such as long range, mid range and close range. I think my close up photos were the best photos in my opinion, I think they gave more of a background story by the facial expressions and the way there body is faced. I also like my Two-shot photos because they give a good background and gives many ideas of what the story behind the photo could be. I also tried to vary the angles I took my photos from, I tried low angle shots, high angle, I also tried different camera movements such as zooming in and out, tilting the camera.

This will help me with my magazine now because I know what angles would look best and I know now which angles with a camera I need to improve on. I also learned all the settings on the camera and which settings are suitable for what scene I am in and how light or dark the room is.
