We were allocated a specific edition of an up to date magazine. I did the popular Billboard media magazine. my aim was to recreate the layout and to recap on the main conventional design features of a magazine cover using InDesign. We used the InDesign app to find the right fonts, sizing, colours, typefaces, proportions and placing and sizing the image to do our best to lay out the cover with a conventional layout.

In using InDesign I found these parts challenging:

• positioning the images and text
• finding colours to match the magazine cover

Parts of InDesign that I found easy

• sizing the text
•  finding the fonts as similar as I could to match the magazine.

Learning how to use InDesign will help me for my future posts because I now understand how to use each feature enabling my to make my music magazine to a high standard.
