Select a magazine genre such as sports, popular weeklies, fashion, and
so on. Research how your selected magazine genre typically approaches
layout and cover design. Create a cover for a magazine that typifies the
style of your selected genre. Create hand-drawn thumbnail sketches
prior to working within the Adobe® InDesign® program to think about
multiple layout options before deciding on one. Create an Adobe®
InDesign® file that is 7½ by 10 inches and CMYK. This is the file size
you will be using for the remainder of the course in your individual
assignments. Select a royalty-free or noncopyrighted image from the
Internet or provide your own image for your cover page. Ensure that you
properly cite and document your image and include it with your
submission. Adjust the image using the Adobe® Photoshop® program so that
it fills the cover page and is not pixilated. Adjust anything else to
make the image look cover ready. You can use you own images, but make
sure that the file size is under 5 MB. Find secondary images that are
smaller in size and incorporate them into the cover design. Add as many
images as you want, but apply best practices involved with publishing
design. Write and place titles and text typically found on the type of
magazine you are designing. Complete your magazine cover, bringing
together all your components into one design that keeps the target
audience of your magazine genre in mind. Submit your completed page as a
.PDF and a .Indd file. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC CLICK HERE
