Starting Production of Magazine using Bookwright

At home, I downloaded the software called Bookwright which is a similar software to Blurb and is of thew same organisation as Blurb but a different piece of software with a different interface. I downloaded this as it will allow me to create my magazine better than I could do on Blurb as Blurb does not provide this option.

However, because I have downloaded it at home, I can only produce my magazine at home in my spare time, however, I will work around this and make sure it is completed in time for me to produce other work in class on exam days.

Before I began creating other cover pages with different text graphics and a different layout, I only had my primary draft version using the handwriting text I had originally produced. Therefore, I could only insert these covers as experiments for how a cover may look but I had the intention of crating other drafts – which I have done and will publish this as a blog post soon.

This have me an opportunity to begin becoming comfortable with the Bookwright software and its tools and how to navigate and there are also video tutorials on how to create magazines using the software and I intend to watch these also.

I inserted JPEG images of my front and back cover an this is shown below in the first screenshot.

Screenshot of same page on Bookwright, however, with a different back cover but the same front cover as previous. This back cover eliminates the use of imagery and concentrates on the title graphics and the slogan I also created for the magazine as this is a common convention of fashion magazines that look at gender and expression

 

This screenshot shows the the inside pages of the cover pages an I had made them both yellow, on the back and front to create a colour theme and the yellow used is the same as that of the title colour
