Week 14

Craft: For the cover I wanted to make it look very modern. I did not want a lot going on the cover so that the artist, myself, would be the main focus. This whole magazine only featured artwork from me, so it is like a portfolio of my artwork. For this reason I wanted myself to be displayed on the cover and that’s it.

Composition: The reason that I arranged my name on the cover in the size and location I did was for a specific reason. I wanted to bring the cover page text and style into the magazine. The way I was able to accomplish this was to make the first page of the magazine look almost identical to the cover.

Concept: The concept behind this idea is that by adding a repetition of the cover on the first page of the magazine is it ties everything together. I start of with my name on the cover an then bring my name onto the first page of the magazine, while also adding a little more about he magazine on the first page.

Week 13

Craft: For this set of spreads I produced an article that was similar to my last one because it features artwork from by visual communications class. This piece of work was from an assignment where I had to combine two different photographs, one old and one new photograph.

Composition: I started out this spread like almost all my others, by making the first page all about the artwork, while also adding the title of the article on the first pages. Then I would bring the same exact title onto the next page to set up my article and text. From there I would keep three columns of text on each page throughout the article.

Concept: the reason that I decided to only have three columns of text on each page was because by using three columns I could get a lot of text on each page without the page looking to full. I wanted each page with body copy text on it have a lot of white space on the page so it did not look gray and too much to read.

Week 12

Craft: For the third spread in my magazine I decided to add an article that was from one of my previous art courses. This piece of artwork was in my visual commutations class from last year. The assignment was to combine multiple pictures into one picture by using Adobe Photoshop. For this spread I decided to make every page in this spread black for a very specific reason.

Composition: The black background is important for that fact that I wanted to incorporate the little beauty physicians from the original artwork into the text pages of the article. The little physicians art white therefore the background needed to be black in order for them to be visible.

Concept: The reason that I decided to add the little physicians was that I though it would be really cool if it looked like the physicians where actually painting on the text. Also, I think it really gives a fun feeling when parts of the artwork is incorporated throughout the entire article.
