Page Reproduction
This project involved reproducing a page layout from a magazine using InDesign. I paid particular attention to the use of sans-serif typefaces throughout the page (in this case, Helvetica), as well as to differences in type size and color.
I laid out the pictures an text boxes (filled with generic filler text to avoid typing out the entire article) with the appropriate spacing between everything measured using a pica ruler, and I also took into account the kerning between individual letters in the headline. I did my best to find pictures as close to those on the page as I could to give my design a greater sense of accuracy and authenticity.

I haven't seen the original page, but I'm sure you did a very good job replicating it, especially since you mentioned taking the time to make measurements with a pica ruler.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good replica of an article, especially since you mentioned you found pictures as close to the originals for authenticity. Also, you did a good job of measuring everything because you had the sub-head and the article start on the same verticle line.
