Indesign Samples

When beginning my journey to learning Adobe InDesign, I gave myself the task of completing a couple of mock-ups to get comfortable with the softwares interface and abilities. These samples serve as an example of text modification, image placements, design, and theming.

In my magazine sample, I wanted to integrate text seamlessly into the visual narrative. One of my key endeavours involved crafting the “Mount Everest” text to emulate the contours of the mountains themselves. Additionally, I delved into the nuances of placement and alignment within the project, recognizing the magazine layout as an exemplary canvas for this exploration. Through this project, I gained proficiency in techniques such as text wrapping around images, text redesign, strategic image placement, and the incorporation of background imagery to enhance thematic sections.

In this second example, I drew inspiration from the inventive designs found in cookbooks, particularly their covers and introductory pages. The highlight of this endeavor for me was the selection of typography. I aimed for a font that exuded playfulness yet maintained a sense of organization, and ‘Poleno’ fit the bill perfectly!
