Journal 8

This was my first week internship in Asian Fusion magazine. My supervisor is called Rick; he is the editor in chief of the magazine. Because they didn’t provide workspace to me, I had to work at home. My supervisor asked me to go the office and present my works to him every week. Since the articles and photos for the coming winter issue were not ready yet, Rick wanted me to redesign the fall issue of the magazine. He wanted to see how I can improve the original design. The magazine became more popular; he would like to upgrade the style of this magazine in order to look more upscale and professional. Therefore, he wanted to see more variation from other designers. After I took the files which from last section, my second part of internship were begin. I decided to work on their feature section first. All information had to fit in six pages. I changed to three columns instead of two, use Arial font in the text and redesign the position of the tile. After I fished the layout design, I found there are no connections of each page; I decided to add an element to make them look unity. I edited an illustration of camera lens as the background in each page, because the feature’s tile was “A Photographer’s Lens”. And then I continued to work on the content page. After three days, my supervisor asked me to present the works I had done so far. He liked the change which I did and let me continue to work on other section.
