FRONT COVER DRAFT LAYOUT

PRODUCTION DIARY WEEK 1'



FRONT COVER FIRST GO

In my first day I started using in-design just to get used to how to use the software because that's the type of software I will be using to make my whole magazine in one software. Also as yesterday was my first day using in-design which areas I didn't find where some of the tools are so I watched adobe indesign clips on the internet so I had the kind of idea how to use it then when I came to practice how make the poster but as I was making it I did make mistakes which this was going to take a lot of time how to make an magazine the way I want the way to .

The first thing I did I follow the blog post what my tutor is saying in the post and he said first make my plan of the magazine the front cover and he put an example what the front cover should look like .
As my tutor gave an example this how your front cover page should actually look like then I asked shall I start making my front cover of the page but the tutor said "firstly draw the plan out of the magazine so you know where goes where". The plan is bit like a construction plan you find it in a building project, also my front cover is similar layout to my tutors but in some sense is different.

So what I did was open a blank in-design the way I started making my plan the main tool was the text box but the main tool but the first thing I had to do is write masthead because if any magazine is going to be published the plan always need a masthead at the top is because if you don't put an masthead at the top then other people what is the magazine name . Even the other thing is that if I didn't draw the plan you may think there will be no magazine there will be but it will be quite messy.

The other thing I started to learn how to get familiar with the software as I got use to how to use it then I draw the plan which the plan has come out the way I have pitched it in my head as been draw on Indesign as I got the plan now I cant start creating the front cover .   

Also when I started making my front cover of the magazine I did make quite of mistakes which I learnt from then as few sessions went by I manage to get use to using the software which I'm quite impressed how my front cover as develop , the other thing I need to do is makes sure that my front cover looks good so if I have time i can try and make it even more better.
