Using Indesign

After practising and getting to know the features of InDesign we were ready to create our own double page spread for the assignment in the following week. Not bad and not great either, I managed to get the required information in and create my own page for a music magazine.

It had to be related to the future of music magazines, therefore I have gathered a collection of cover images such as vibe, Kerrang and NME and put them together in Photoshop to add to my Double Page Spread.

For the information in the main page, I put down some statistics from my research on the internet about the magazines themselves, and also about 'Web 2.0' which was rather interesting because of how it continued to develop and change how the world worked, i.e everything is online and everyone's connected.

Introduction

Welcome to my blog; my name's Irnadas and I’ll be describing my routine in AS Media, what I've done and new experiences I've came across through.

Last week I have been been experimenting with an App called InDesign by Adobe, it allows us to create our own Double Page Spreads (DPS) for a magazine of our choice. However the first day we used an existing copy “The Sky’s the limit” to re-make into the App itself, from scratch by copying the layout with tools, text boxes and pasting similar text into the double page spread with an image on the side.

Then we experimented with the app, making our own layouts and testing out features to prepare for the coursework where we create our own double page spread and add our own, original work.
