To begin this my production stage of my magazine, I first searched up the print sizes of magazine, For my magazine, I chose 11"x17" inches for the cover. This adheres to the typical conventions of a magazine, and I will be able to add my masthead, coverlines, and feature articles correspondingly to the size. Therefore, In Adobe InDesign, I changed the page size to 11"x17", which corresponds to the typical tabloid size of conventional magazine.
Reflection
Knowing what print size to use is vital for the layout of a magazine. Because I was able to choose my print size, I am able to easily fit in the different aspects of the cover page accordingly, without any trouble. Moreover, knowing the exact page dimensions gives me a gauge on the size of the typography, font, and graphics that I will implement within the cover.
