Client: School Project

Date: November, 2016

Tools: Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Mag+, AfterEffects

Description: The purpose of this project was to create an interactive magazine using InDesign and the mag+ plugin. Our magazine had to include scrollable features, multiple articles and videos.

Process: I started brainstorming ideas for this project and decided to write about mars. Thanks to NASA's compyright free material that is available, I had open access to many articles and illustrations I could use for my project. I read through a few articles until I chose three that interested me the most. After that I searched for relevant images I could use on the project. I then edited the images on photoshop before adding them to my project on InDesign. With the Mag+ plugin installed, I had to separate my article into part that would be static and parts that would be scrollable. Since you need to have a paid version of the Mag+ to be able to publish the article, I decided to make a video of the demo using AfterEffects in order to show the results.
