InDesign - A handy Tutorial

The majority of my work tends to come from photoshop, however for the book creation side of things, InDesign is a must. (whether our own group will use this digital method is to be debated however, since we wish to give out Zines this handmade aesthetic).

Before our talk with Des about Zine distribution, we had a short insight into how inDesign, and how we could use it to lay out our own work. 

I've used the program before and remember a few little tricks, however this time I had more work to actually throw into a small publication. 

After using the program however, we all settled on the group decision on only using minor digital editing to enhance our work, before having it all cut down ready for the actual process of putting the zine together. 

When looking into how we wanted our zine to look, we decided to all throw in a design for a front cover, and see what inspiration we could drawn from, towards the final product. As seen below, my own was based around handwritten and digital text, since we wanted the book to be as simple as possible, however it still needs a twist somehow. (Possibly some letter pressing of different colours?) 

We don't want anything too over the top or too obvious, since it kind of moves away from the whole "zine" aesthetic that we originally all shared an interest for. It also ties ties into my "rough and rebellious" visual which I am to keep.
