Week 8

The week 9 workshop focused entirely on InDesign and working through different text styles and this was eye opening for me as I have never really used the software. Although I found it challenging in the beginning of the workshop, I managed to sort it out by the end of the workshop. We had a look at an online journal/gaming magazine and how the design could  be improved and then we had to remake it by importing the pieces of text and graphics into InDesign. We were allowed free range to create whatever we wanted, wether it would be changing the colour scheme so it was not too distracting for the viewer’s eyes. I had a look at the logo and how it was too big for the page, I also looked at how it was a black graphic on a white background and how by changing the background colour to white, we could make the background fill of the logo look like a transparent png. I would probably use InDesign in the future if I was focusing on newspaper articles or magazine, but other things I would probably use illustrator or photoshop.
