Double Page From a Real Magazine

This is my unfinished work for when we had to make a double page spread. We had to choose a double page spread from a magazine such as OK or Look etc. then after choosing the certain double page spread we had to make an exact copy of this using InDesign. We had to start from scratch and make our work look exactly like the original copy. As I have mentioned, mine is unfinished. The title of my double page spread was called "Me and My Mam"

Storyboarding.





This is my unfinished copy of a storyboard. In this work we were given a short clip to watch with the rest of the class. We then had to draw our own versions of the short film which gave us an idea of what an actual storyboard may look like. We had to select a scene of every few seconds and then draw it in the box, labelling the different movements and the angles etc. We had to remember the differences between the white arrows (camera movement) and the black arrows (object movement). 



For this we were given the names of the different shot types and we had to write a defenition of the word and then draw a picture to help us remember which shot is which.

Fashion Page

For this piece of work we had to make a fashion page using only the pictures that sir put up in the students shared area. We had to use Photoshop to make sure that the work is professional even though we had limeted use of work.

3 Column Layout. One Page

This is our three column layout where we had to make a "magazine" article and make it look like another one we were shown where there was one big picture and text around and. there was also the first letter starting off that was bigger than the rest of the text.

Text Wrap - Glamour Style


In this piece of work we had to learn how to put text around the picture of a person. we used this picture and put on text around her.  we made this work using Photoshop, indesign. since indesign is a very hard and meant for proffesionals, it took us a while to get used to it. this is my final copy of this and for my first try i think this is suitable.

Double page Spread. (Cash & Careers Clinic)

Here is my work:


This is the unfinished version of my work. We were making our version of a magazine double page spread. The above one is mine. We had to first open up a double page spread using InDesign and then we had to insert the rectangle frame tool on each box. We then put in text into our work, but because we didn't have enough time to find and put in text we just filled the gap with placeholder text.

Then we had to make the thumbnails for the work. We had to put in 5 more rectangle frame tools but they had to be 15 x 15. Then we placed the pictures that sir provided to us and, while pressing shift, we had to resize it into the shape to fit into the rectangle frame tool. We then changed the wrap text for the picture. We put it in a way that the text wrapped around it.

As I have said before this is the unfinished copy. I will later post the finished version of this where I have added other things to the page spread.

My Katy Perry Magazine Cover.

Then we had to make our own magazine covers. I chose Katy Perry for my cover.

 We had to make our own version of a magazine using the Rihanna magazine cover as an idea. We were told we could choose any celebrity we wanted. I chose Katy Perry. I cut her out of the background and softened the area around her and then placed her into the already pink background. We put rulers onto the sides to keep the text aligned.

After doing so, I had to put information about celebrity gossip around her and place it in a way that it looked realistic. I tried my best to make it look believable by keeping the theme as black, white and pink. I then had to resize and edit the text and put in the price and the barcode in.
