Week 13 : Three C's of the Magazine

Craft- In order to put together the magazine, the program that was used was InDesign. The first thing I did was create a master page for every spread in order to have some consistency throughout the magazine. I did that by clicking on the master spread, forming a box without outlines on the top of the pages and filling them with a color, typing which project and name that was relevant to that page. I then placed the appropriate images on each spread by again forming a box with no outlines, clicking file and place, and choosing the picture that I wanted. I then fitted the picture appropriately, copy and pasted from Blogger any text that I wanted in with that picture. I pasted the text in a text box and fitted it accordingly. Next comes the quote in which I pulled from the text, colored it an exciting color that will pop out from the page and altered the font. Lastly I created a title, and put an eye catching and exciting font to it.

Composition- I want the viewers eye to constantly be moving around the page but still having the main focus be on the art work. I want the quotes to tease the viewer into wanting to read the body text, and the same goes for the title.

Concept- I wanted the concept of  my magazine to be obviously focused on my artwork along with some other classmates artworks. I wanted to show the artwork in the making along with the final product of each project we  accomplished. I also wanted to do this is a consistent and even manner so the whole magazine will come together as a whole and not be scattered about.
