Assignments:

Assignment #1:

Login to lynda.com and complete the indesign CS4/5 essential training exercises. You will need this in order to do much of the assignment.

Assignment #2:

Magazine Cover Design – Following the steps in the lecture deck, design your own magazine cover. DO THE RESEARCH – audit other designs and try to make this a portfolio piece. Sketches AND 3 examples of good magazine cover designs - 3 up on 8.5 x 11 color - 3.8.12.

Here's a link on some great cover designs.

Final magazine cover due 3.22.12. We will print these out together WITH BLEED ON 3.22.12 - DON'T PRINT THEM OUT BEFORE WE MEET. (which means then need to be printed to next size up from 8.5 x 11) in color AND cut out using an xacto knife. Also, save as JPGs to the class folder. The following week will be an all Flash class but I will also give an example of printing out with bleeds and cutting comps out.
