Day 9 - Leeds Guide WE Diary

today was quite a relaxing and interesting day. first thing i was working on the Student Guide covers again and i decided to try something new and learn a new skill. soooooo i headed to the internet in search of Photoshop tutorials (as i only get to work on a computer all day) i found a tutorial to create 3D images, the ones where you need 3D glasses and i found some easy tutorials that i got to work on. i used imagery of Leeds City centre that i could use on the covers of the Student Guide. i have created well over 30 cover ideas for the Student Guide now and other documents that are experiments of branding for the Student Guide. this afternoon i finally started work on the next issue of the Leeds Guide (which my interview will be in) and it will be strange having to lay out my own interview with pictures of myself and my apartment! but at least i get to choose the pictures and if i dont want anything from my apartment showing, i can leave it out of the interview!
for this issue of the Leeds Guide i set up the entire document, and when this is done it is broken down into small sections which is then placed into a book ( i think this is so multiple people can work on the magazine at once, instead of one big document where you can have only one person open it at a time ). this is done by breaking the pagination into about 8 to 10 pages (but always on an even number and not in between a feature or editorial piece) and then all the different aspects such as headlines and subtitles are added from templates and the dates changed all at once. after doing this i added all the adverts and then started placing text to be laid out with images. so all in all quite a good varied day !
