Start thinking about...

...the magazine spread assignment.


On April 19 (yes it's still a ways off), you should bring to class:

6-8 photos for a two page magazine spread

The magazine spread's theme is "How To." How to… cook a dish. Make a model car. Make a piece of jewelry. Groom a dog. Apply make-up. Play tennis.

The specifics are up to you. But you'll need 6-8 original photos, taken by you, to include in the spread.

You'll also need a short (200 word or so) introduction paragraph that leads into the step-by-step instructions. The instructions themselves can be pretty short if you want. One or two lines per photo perhaps. Longer if you want.

Once the photos are done, you'll edit them in Photoshop as we've learned how to do and work with them (and your text) in InDesign.

So, start thinking about what you'll want to do.

Here are some examples.. they might not be 100% what we're doing but you get the idea:
