PUTTING THE MAGAZINE TOGETHER
You should now have lots of imagery and varied typography, you now need to think how you will display the information across the magazine panels and find a style of working that you think will fit your idea and a chosen visual way of communicating.
FIND A MAGAZINE OR PUBLICATION STYLE YOU LIKE AND FOLLOW IT! THIS IS PARAMOUNT TO THE SUCCESS OF YOUR PROJECT!
Start mocking up ideas using edited photographs and placing text alongside or ontop of or within your piece. Spread information out, and have some pages that work with the idea of simplicity and clean lines.
You must use a majority of the hand rendered images you have produced during this project within your magazine as well as the photographs on location. You can crop, edit, add filters, layer etc if you wish but do follow an idea that repeats within your magazine, this might be a colour, repetition of type layout or sequence of image.
Use sketchbooks to explore your ideas as rough drafts and produce at least one rough mock up indicating what images and text will go where. Give thought to integrating a range of approaches that you have experimented with through the project (photography, drawing, printmaking, collage, text etc.). Once you have an idea of what you want, consider the following:
- The name of your magazine - this needs to be summing up the feel of your ideas and must represent the concept clearly. Consider who your magazine is aimed at ? Which audience will be reading it and what kind of 'tone' will be appropriate?
- The message/information you are delivering
- The imagery you will use
- The text you will include
- Some rough layout ideas
Your magazine should be 20 sides at least, most of you can do double this I suspect. We will be using BLURB, prices below :
