Research & Planning - Film Review/Tutorial


I used indesign to create this film review and have made this in preparation for the future college magazine i will be making. I firstly created guides so columns helped me out with the layout of the magazine page. I then imported text which carried on in to each column. I then imported my image and stretched it out into an appropriate size which is different to the original. Then finally exported the file to a JPEG.
