1. My magazine recreation (total film)
The programs I used where Photoshop and InDesign I was familiar with Photoshop but InDesign I
was not familiar with so I had to experiment with the tools till I understood it. I used the cutting
tools to make it so I could use parts from the image which I wanted to use in my magazine
recreation. I also used the text tools to recreate the text from the original image. I have learnt new
skills and tools in the making of my magazine recreation cover. The tools I used where the
importing/placing tool and the cutting tool the line tool which helped me do the straight lines on the
front cover to make it more like the original cover.
This is the original picture on the left and
the other one is the one I recreated. I
think I did okay as I have not spent long
on Photoshop and it was my first time on
InDesign.so overall I think that I did okay
recreating the original cover of TOTAL
FILM.
The weakness of my recreation of the original cover is that I didn’t include some of the same things
the original cover did and the photo I took was okay but I should have made it so there was more
lighting on the image and I should of made the text bigger and I should of made it so the total in the
title was more clear so I could see it more clearly. The strengths of my cover recreation is that the
title looks kind of similar and the text it the same and nearly in the same position as the original
image I also like it how the cover image I chose is the same as the original image.
I am pleased with the recreation I did as I was not so familiar with the programs I used.
If I did it again I would change the lighting on the photo I took and I would make the text more bold
and add more stuff from the original cover to my recreated cover.
