Progression On Layout

To create my layout for my magazine, as i have spoke about previously, i did this through InDesign as this is what i am most familiar with in terms of layout and design work. As I knew i wanted to create an A4 sized, 20 page document i added this into the settings as well as adding in a 3mm bleed, as requested by the print company i chose to work with. Once editing my images, i exported them through Lightbox and also started to add in my written articles via Google drive, thanks to my flat lay plan i knew where i wanted each of my pieces of content to go and in which order, however i did not feel i had added in enough images from my second photoshoot added into my magazine so i made the document 24 pages long to accommodate this, 24 pages was more than enough but also meant it was divisible by four therefore i would have no issues when my magazine went to print. After adding in my text and images i went about adding in my particular details to distinguish my magazine such as geometric text boxes and adding in my social media promotions also, once these smaller details had been done i left it for the day to reflect, before coming back and perfecting the magazine more like changing my title font from the one i previously liked as i felt it to be too unreadable to other things like trialling page numbers but then removing them because as predicted, i found them too distracting and also over lapping images and text onto two pages as i thought this was a really good way of tying two pages together. All of these small changes added up and the process of creating my magazine layout took around two days (give or take) however i am really happy with my finale product, i am hoping it comes out with no issues but this is what happens when you give someone else the reigns on your project. On reflection, my magazine did change in contrast to my previous flat lay plan, but i had no issue with this. Now i need too collect feedback from my focus group and make any more last minute changes before sending my magazine to print.
