Comics/Graphic Novels/Magazines

Comics - Small book that shows a fictional based story, usually shown in drawn pictures in a panelled layout (usually based around a character)

Magazines - A series of printed pages that show a story and contain information and news from around the globe. celebrity news, hobbies etc.

Graphic Novels - A book formatted style, but is very much similar as to a comic book apart from its usually longer. Can be text heavy and picture heavy or both.

Book - The Walking Dead, is a comic book about a zombie apocalypse and a small group is in a prison trying to survive but run into nothing but trouble.
Likes/Dislikes - i enjoyed the story of the book and i enjoyed how the pictures were detailed. what i didn't like was because it was black and white, and the characters were not the same as the tv series.
Preferred style - I like the style of the walking dead comic book, the layout of panels of pictures is smart.

In todays lecture leanne showed us how the basic tools of in design work. we started by making a a4 sized page then inserting photos. After i sized them up i had to press a certain tool to reset the picture to the size that i set. afterwards i put in text and sized it and changed the colour of the text to blue. then i inserted a text box and went in type and selected "fill with placeholder text". After i placed everything i pressed the "W" key to see a print preview to make sure everything was within the bleed.
