2. InDesign practice
Before starting this project, our InDesign skills were very limited mainly due to lack of experience, so in
order to practice a little bit this was one of the tasks we completed. We had 2 images, a background and a
statue and we had to transfer them into a magazine using all sorts of tools and methods. Above you can see
the steps in order to achieve this.
3. Feature Article Improvements
These images show the
transformation of page layout and
design for my feature article. As you
can see in the first image, the ratio of
text and images is not correct as
there is too much text and only one
image. After that I looked through a
lot of magazines within the same
genre as mine and I noticed how
there were many more pictures and
therefore I switched it up and added
more images. In the last image you
can see the final layout and design,
with all the headers, footers and
little design bits here and there.
4. Interview improvements
As you can see above, I had originally planned two full pages of text and left no space at all for images. There was no
stand first and no by line or anything. After realising that this is not the conventional way to layout an interview article I
changed a lot. I realised I didn’t even have enough text to fill both pages so I decided to use the second page for just one
large image of my interviewee. I added a fact box into the left page just to include extra information about my
interviewee. I then created a by line to introduce the article a little bit and finally I added the headers and footers.
5. Reviews Improvements
As you can see in the first image, my article layout was not in the conventional 2/3 column layout and this was
incorrect so I changed that. I also added a stand first to introduce the article. Then I added headers, footers and a
few little bits to jazz everything up a bit.
