Magazine Design

1. How does the design that you created demonstrate your knowledge of Magazine Design and the parts of a magazine cover and interior?

My design demonstrates my knowledge of magazine design and the parts of a magazine cover and interior because I followed all of the requirements such as including a folio, running head, image caption, etc.

2. In what ways does your magazine connect to the corporate identity of the magazine? What are some design queues that you used from the existing magazine?

My magazine connects to the corporate identity because of the use of a simple black and white and red color scheme, two black and white pictures, and a big red “A” starting off the body copy.

3. How did completing the brainstorming packet and sketches affect your design process?

It helped me organize my thoughts and start creating an image in my head of what I wanted to do for the interior.

4. How did you like working with a partner? How do you think working with a partner makes the design process easier and more difficult?

Working with a partner gave me another perspective and helped me look at things a little differently. It can be difficult to come to a conclusion though when you have very differing ideas.

5. Looking at your partner’s design, if you were to design your partner’s portion by yourself how would it look different? What would you have changed?

I probably would have used a picture that was maybe more close up that had Ed Sheeran looking directly into the camera to really grab the reader’s attention.

6. Describe the ideal partner (co-worker / co –designer)?

The ideal partner is someone who you can easily communicate with and who listens to your ideas but also at the same time adds their own ideas and opinion. Also an ideal partner is someone who isn’t afraid to critique your work.
