This is my first truly fascinating encounter with InDesign. I had tried to use the program before, but with the lack of an interesting project, I quickly gave up on it. Our magazine project presented an opportunity for me to utilise my design skills and to portray my vision for our psychology/science magazine idea.
Since the program was quite easy and the internet was full of marvellous imagery, suitable for our product, I played around with the design and did 9 possible covers. My personal favourites were 3, 5 and 7 (plus the last one, although it presented quite a detailed image, which made a too 'complicated' or 'crowded' cover). As a group, we finally decided to use number 7, as our magazine is designed for laymen and not professionals, and the colour blue is usually used to very scientific magazines, whilst purple is a little more neutral. Plus, as we were targeting mostly women with an occasional interest in psychology and science, we decided purple was a more suitable colour for a female audience than blue is.
