Week two and three

Since blogger does not do file hosting, I had to resort to this.

Anyways, In week two we created a magazine cover after having learned about the bleed (the residue space that will then shrink to the image's actual size) and the slug, which is basically where the editors can put their remarks and they will not be printed.

We created the cover by file -> place-ing the image onto the page. We also used the direct selection tool (white arrow) to select the image inside the frame. Instead of actually writing up a text we used a "placeholder text" that just lets us see how the layout will look together with the text, which probably hasn't been written at the time of the creation of said layout. Type -> placeholder text.

The following week we made a slightly more elaborate article layout than we did the first week. We also used the line tool to make it more visually appealing and learnt how to create a colorful fill and stroke for different elements of our work.
