Article 1- Getting Into Graphic Design

 This article was my first time fully interacting with Adobe InDesign, most of the tools are easy to navigate as they replicate ones found in other Adobe software- however I did get tripped up with some of the unique features, such as the text warps and pasteboards, but doing a little additional research they're simple to understand. 

Before going into InDesign I wrote up a draft in Word, put it through Grammarly, and then asked an AI software (Chat GPT) on tips to make it sound more professional/meant to be in a magazine- after using some of its advice I rewrote the original draft, and then added "segments" to different parts of the writing to help separate topics. While messing with the images and text warp, I had a few issues, one of which I discovered was a default setting regarding resolution- making the images look beyond blurry.

Then using help from some of the mockups provided, and some inspiration from Article layouts found online, I added in my writing, fixed the fonts to match, and added in some of my artwork and a texture at the end of the last page. Then I went over it a few times, re-adjusted some photos and added a small photo of myself along with my work.
