The document outlines plans for developing a magazine cover and layout in Adobe InDesign. It includes 3 potential cover designs and 3 double-page spread ideas. The schedule plans work over 6 weeks, with tasks including editing cover designs, creating double-page spreads, and finishing the back page. Weekly priorities are to complete a diary, gather images, and write articles ahead of production. Resources needed are Adobe software, computer, camera, and internet access.
2. Developed Idea 1 – cover
Quick design showcasing how I could make the layout of the cover
CULT LEADER
BRANCH
DAVIDIANS
The title will go somewhere at the top of the
cover, as people usually read top to bottom.
Making the title the first thing the reader will
read. When it comes to making my cover in
production I will try to make the title stand
out to attract people over to it and read it.
The barcode is on most
magazines however some covers
don’t have a barcode on them. I
don’t know whether I will have
one on my cover yet. However,
this is just a general magazine
layout.

The main image will most likely feature David
Koresh as the Branch Davidians, and the Waco
siege are going to be the main topic of that
issues magazine with a limited edition Ed Gein
page.

4. Developed Idea 3 - cover
I am very happy with the way the cover turned out. I think that it looks
very professional. I am hoping to have a cover layout like this when it
comes to production. I want the cover to stand out as a crime magazine.
I also want the Branch Davidians to be the main focus of the magazine
therefore wanting David Koresh to be the main image on the cover. In
terms of colours that I will be using, I will use the black, white, and red
combo. I think that this combo fits the crime topic. If I do want to use
another colour I would most likely use the colour blue.

13. Weekly
priorities
• Complete weekly diary every Wednesday in tutorial, or do it at home throughout the week.
• One big priority to complete before starting production is to gather the images I am going to use whether
that be by camera or using the internet then I will need to edit them if I gather them from the internet to
make them more primary research than secondary research.
• I will also need to download or make a magazine template for InDesign so that when I start production I
don’t have to waste time looking for a template or making one as I will already have one.
• Take screenshots whilst working so that I can add them to my evaluation and production diary weekly.
• Make sure that I have wrote up all of the inside content before needing to add it into the magazine. Do this
all at home.
14. Before I begin production I will need to find images that I am going to use in the magazine both primary and secondary
images, it would also be best if I edited the images before hand. However, I don’t know what style each page is going to be.
Therefore editing the image is going to be difficult to do before hand. I will also need to write articles before I need them so
that when I do need them I can just put the article in, instead of having to write it after finding out that I need it then.
15. Resource List:
• Adobe Photoshop CC 2017
• Adobe InDesign CC 2017
• MacBook
• Mouse and Keyboard
• Access to the internet, Safari or Google Chrome
• Access to my College email.
• Access to my Wix website.
• Camera, as I may need to take pictures to get some primary research.
