In this lesson we discussed print design.

Layout
*The bottom margin is wider than the top margin
* Pictures and text are all aligned
*Use a variety of fonts and font sizes, but no more than threeGroup components
*Text boxes- Sub headingsUse white on black to make things stand out

Images
* We need a clear idea of what we want to say with our photos and need to make sure it represents what we want it to

Register and Tone
*Style of language needs to be appropriate to our audience. Text is 70% visual and 30% read

House Style
* Keep certain things the same on each page and each edition. This way the audience will easily be able to identify the magazine.

Also in the lesson in groups we presented our ideas for the magazines in front of the class and received feedbacks on what we did well and things we needed to improve on. Our feedback was quite positive.
