The first part of production is creating the space in which i will create the first part of my magazine, the cover. After doing research, the most common dimensions for a magazine are 8.5 inches x 11 inches. This means the magazine will stand 11 inches tall and span 8.5 inches wide. In addition, this is also the standard US letter dimensions, which meant that for me to find the correct layout to use, all i had to do was use the "Letter" preset. On the right of the picture below, the dimensions can be seen, with 8.5 inches for width and 11 inches for height.
Another magazine size is 5.5 inches wide and 8.5 inches tall. Although, i felt i needed to have as much room as possible in order to include larger graphics and include more details and information.
After my selection, the official document is created with the workspace to begin. This is shown below.
Although, i have yet to take pictures for the magazine, but that will be done within the next couple days. For now, production may continue through the more ideation within the table of contents and general style guide. But for now, the background can stay black, as Jaiden and I agreed to have a black background with white contrasting text as well as blue and red highlights because it still pops while retaining a simplistic tone. This can be relative with lifestyle, simple but with necessary highlights.
