GAMIT

The brief was to create an e-publication utilising Adobe InDesign and it’s interactive elements. My e-pub is a video game magazine called “GAMIT”, which features reviews, articles, and other video game journalism.

I wanted to create a video game magazine that could attract a variety of video game fans. The magazine would include content varying from reviews to fun content like “top tens”, to articles about the overall video game industry. I wanted the style of the magazine to feel active, casual and of the “digital-age”, but also feel structured and consistent. The primary colour of GAMIT is blue, but I used red, green and blue as accent colours to differentiate between different articles.

I sketched many different pages on paper to understand the layout I desired and the number of margins and columns I would use. I then implemented the articles and images into Adobe InDesign, testing the layouts, font size, buttons, etc, as I progressed and took notes of necessary revisions. I also implemented interactive elements like animations, buttons, and videos, and tested them throughout the process.
