My mock-up front page:

This is my mock-up front page. I was given the front cover on a magazine to try and imitate.

This is the original magazine cover I was given.

Review:

During this task I have learnt many useful things that will help me with my magazine. In design is new to me but after a couple of attempts I got there and learnt how to use it. I also learned how to do the magazine features including masthead, cover lines, main cover star, etc.

Compare and contrast:

I think there are many improvements I could do to my version of the magazine cover. For example,  I couldn’t find the original image and therefore had to find another to use. This image wasn’t great quality but I needed a mid- shot to be able to replicate the structure of the cover. I also couldn’t find the exact cover I was given to copy and therefore means that the wording is slightly different from mine. Some of the font isn’t the exact same as i struggled to get it identical.

I think that I did well on trying to replicate the structure/ layout of the magazine cover.  I also found inserting the text and images fairly easy as well as sizing everything.

Overall I really enjoys this task because I learned many new things that can help me in the future within media.

These are some videos I found that will help me in the future when I am next using indesign.
