The purpose of this assignment was to replicate a two-page magazine using inDesign. Since this was my first time using this program, I wasn't sure what to expect. I looked for magazine pages that were colorful, had many different elements, and looked good. I decided on these pages from Cosmopolitan. I took care to replicate the fonts and images as closely as possible, even finding the same photo as the original for some of them. If I could not find the same photo, I made sure to pick one that matched the colors as closely as possible so the color of the text I overlaid were still easily visible. This project gave me more appreciation for magazine designers because it is definitely very difficult to make a visually pleasing spread.
I decided to make a camera obscura using a cereal box. I began by gathering the supplies: Cereal box, bag, scissors, tape, and a thumbtack. Then I cut a square in the box: Then I cut the bag and taped it over the hole: Lastly, I used the thumbtack to poke a hole in the opposite side of the cereal box. Then it was time to hold it up to a light source. I used a lamp that hangs above my desk. Although it's somewhat dark and not the easiest to see in a picture, there is an inverted reflection of the lamp: (You can see the large circular rim and the cord coming out of the bottom rather than the top) Overall, I thought it was an interesting project to do and would like to see what a large-scale camera obscura looks like too.
