Designing a Magazine

In this assignment, I combined a wide array of InDesign techniques and concepts to make this magazine. I will share a few of those techniques with you in this post.

One key concept I applied was reshaping. The text box entitled “Botanical Gardens Worldwide” was originally a rectangle. I manipulated and reshaped the text box to add style to the magazine. Additionally, on page 1, I auto-fit the 6 flower images to fit the specific frame of each. After doing so, I enhanced the quality of each image to eliminate any blurriness in the pictures. I moved each image in their frame in order to center specific parts of each flower image.

Another technique I applied was the idea of wrapping text. On page 4, I wrapped the text around the image of the bleeding heart flower. Also, using the InDesign software, I evenly aligned the small icons above the chart on page 3 and circles going across page 4.
