Week 14: Front and Back Covers

Craft

The background is a solid color container across the entire page. The long rectangular boxes are solid filled and have the text adjusted accordingly.

Concept

Simple and modern, the covers only have the needed information in text with sharp contrast between text boxes and background. Some of the text boxes wrap around to the back cover.

Composition

The sharp constrast between the text boxes, text, and background draws attention to the text. The most important information is largest, what it is and who it is by, followed by smaller text for additional descriptive information, what kind of portfolio it is and where it was made.

Week 13: All Spreads

Craft

Each spread is based on the arrangement of containers. There are none of them that are similar. The bottm black strip with page numbers and title was placed on a master spread. The design of the chapter title pages was on a single page master and was applied by a drag and drop method.

Concept

Each spread is arranged differently, but they present the artwork in a similar manner, to show it as the largest fearture with text beside it. The article for each artwork is designed in the same fashion as the others. They each have a solid background color followed by an overlapping by-line. They body copy and pull quotes are arragned a little differently but have the same font type throughout. This way the magazine is brought together and combined in some way.

Composition

The composition is the same for each spread, to make the artwork the focal point for each.

Week 12: Two Spreads

Craft

In InDesign, I started with the picture placement, making them the biggest feature of the spreads. Using the rectanglular containers, I placed the pictures in them and cropped them somewhat. The background is a solid color with a container the full size of the spread. The text boxes are also containers. Headlines in text boxes with solid background colors and were formatted with adjustments in top and left justify. The colors were picked from the picture with the eye dropper.

Concept

The concept is the make the picture the largest feature and a color scheme to the text that compliments the picture.

Composition

The composistion draws attention to the picture and the next largest feature is the headline, followed by the pull quote, then by-line, and body copy.
