LO2 - InDesign Practise

What I did in terms of skill & How it relates to my magazine

Using InDesign I learnt how to wrap an image around a text box, within a magazine. I also learnt how to select hyphenation, which is something I don't want within my magazine. Another thing I learnt is how to capitalise the first letters in a new paragraph, but to also make them extra large which is what you may expect in an official magazine. This is a skill that I will be using within my magazine, because I want my magazine to look official and not like an amateur has made it.

What this tells me I will need in my magazine

This tells me I will need to use photoshop, to help format the images and text, and to design everything into a way that I like. This has also taught me that to design the layout on InDesign is an ideal idea as it shows you the spacing and gutter within a magazine.

LO2 - Risk Assessment

I have done a risk assessment for when I went to take pictures for my magazine. This was very important to make sure that the process was a safe one, as that is the most important aspect. 

LO2 - Recce Form

This is a recce form I made for when I went out to take photos for my gaming magazine. This has taken into account all of the possible issues that i will encounter from doing this.  

Magazine so far

So far for my magazine I have completed the sketches of the layout and content, and I have started to create the magazine front cover on photoshop. In pre production I need to type up in more detail the actual content of my magazine and also scanning my sketches onto my blog.

LO1 - Page 2 Draft Articles

Little introduction done in a separate box to the rest of the article

The fifth instalment from the GTA franchise is the most captivating game yet. It is completely stunning. The graphics, unlike anything else seen before or after. This game leaves a key question in every gamers head

HOW CAN THEY TOP THIS?

Then move on to main article

Given the pedigree and almost brutish levels of hype surround GTA V it would have been a supirse if this wasn't the five star humdinger that you would expect. But here we are: Grand Theft Auto V is the pinnacle of open-world video game design and a colossal get of technical engineering. It takes a template laid down by its predecessors and expands upon it, improving on and streamlining some of its rougher aspects. It doesn't break out of that template and can be brash, nasty and nihilistic. But for its more unsavoury aspects, this game has been build with skilled mechanical expertise and creative artistry.
