Re-create your favorite magazine spread

Use a scan, photograph, or find a digital copy of your favorite magazine to recreate the spread. You may want to start with something simple, and work up to more detailed spreads.

Don't worry if the fonts don't match perfectly. This is an exercise to get you familiar with the tools of InDesign. In working with exisiting layouts you can get a good sense of what size the text should be, how much space to have in margins and between text, and how to work with images.

Students are encouraged to share their work in the online classroom! (Screenshots work great!)
