Izzy Bains_Exercise 2

So for this project my approach was to use the same ideas and put down different layouts. I wanted to stick with the theme of the American Flag and a plate showcasing America since the article highlights the hunger issues on the homefront. I also want to know what everyone thinks of the opacity on the plate, in the second option, after looking at it now, it seems a light but i'm not sure. I also want to know what style do you guys like better. The first 2 column options is more professional almost more like a informative issue, the second one is something more fun but i used a TIME magazine as inspiration and something bold with an entire page as an image and a lot of negative space. The third one which was our choice I used a 6 column grid and wanted minimal text so it was more of an intro than a lot of context. Thanks everyone looking forward to your feedback!

Carrisa's Exercise 2

Hey guys!

So for my approach for this exercise I decided to design something that would instantly get the attention span of a high school student. Visual hierarchy is key with them, since if it doesn't instantly grab their attention, they will lose interest fast and quit reading quickly. So, I tried making big, bold titles that reel you in. The fist and last one I decided in breaking the page to give it an interesting look.

Savard- Exercise 2

Hey class.
Here are my spreads for the feature articles.
Again, my target audience is young adults, ages 22ish to 35.
I wanted to take completely different approaches for each one to see what I could come up with.
I think the first spread would be more geared to an older audience, so I'm not sure about it. The second layout is outside of how I normally design, but I'm hoping it works. I wanted it bold and to almost scream through the page. And for the third one, I tried out justified type. I'm not sure how well it worked, if at all. But I gave it a shot, and would like some feedback on that.

Thanks!

Tyler O'Brien - Exercise 2

 

Hey guys, here are my first few takes on creating a magazine spread for the featured article. Once again, this was meant for older teens so I tried to keep it appropriate for that demographic. I think I'm heading in the right direction, but feel free to let me know if anything needs to be improved so the design can later make more sense to the viewer... Thanks!

Dan Nazar Exercise 2

Heyo all, this week my objective was to format the feature article in such a way that it caught the attention of my target audience as they were flipping through the magazine. Utilizing hero images in all three spreads to reinforce the story of the article, I wanted the audience to be stopped and then move into reading the article. I primarily stuck with thinner typefaces to also reinforce the idea of hunger, as if the typeface is starving.

Michael Eggerl - Exercise 1 Revisited

 

You are going to see a significant difference in these designs.  Reworking "Exercise 1," yielded a more professional set of productions, at lease from my perspective.  I'm interested to hear what you think.  For readability, my target audience would most likely be attracted to the first of the three designs.  Additionally the color scheme of the third design offers the most attractive earth tones that would draw the eye of my readers.

Rob's Exercise 2

Hello Bloggers,
I tried to create some new ideas, but also reworked an existing idea from last weeks exercise into spread 2. Just a reminder my audience is 25-30 professionals.

Exercise 2_ Ticas

For my features, I wanted to keep it interesting and fun for the my audience. (grades 11-12th ages 16-18). So I played around with bold typefaces, and color to add a pop to each layout. I want to make them engaging but without taking away from the content because that's what really important. But i don't want to bore them either. Also, I found it hard finding images for this feature article? I don't know why. I couldn't decide what to use. Anyways, feedback would be awesome! Thanks guys!

Jehan's Exercise 2

So stylistically my three feature layouts have a similar feel.  I wanted to do large images for the first pages of the features and then toy with the grid structure with more body copy in the latter pages of the article.  For the two column layout I think i have to figure out a different picture so that the seam isn't on his eye, but I chose a young white male to pair with the "new face" of hunger because people tend to think of starving africans on PSAs when they think of hungry children. Also does the headline look too much like the North Face logo? For the last layout, is the line measure too long? Do you think it's hard to read?    I definitely want to play around with the headline typefaces too.  Let me know what you think.

For this exercise I started off just trying to fit the grid and work around that. But after the first two I really wanted to target my audience so I changed to a four column grid and chose certain elements I am going to stick with throughout the magazine. I feel like the overlay on the black and white photos will unify the articles. As always feedback is more than helpful. Thanks!

Brannelly Exercise 2 FEATURE

For the Feature spreads, I tried to keep the look and feel similar to the ones I started when I created the one-page features and one-page department articles. Again, my target audience is fitness enthusiasts ranging from early 20s to mid 30s. I want to incorporate images of healthy alternatives to delicious favorites. I want the typography to be dynamic, engaging, and modern. All colors have been pulled from the images chosen to create unity. I think I know which spread I like the best, but I am curious to see if you all choose the same.

So here are my revisions for exercise 1 because I too, didn't do the department articles. So I re-did the exercise with the correct articles, and still kept the same typefaces of last time. I took it a little further based on feedback, and changed the images. Again my audience is high students, grades 11-12th (ages 16-18).  The one I favor most is the last one. But would love to here from you guys for any further suggestions! Thanks!

REDO Brannelly Exercise 1

For the first assignment I was one of many that used the given grids with the feature body copy rather than the department copy. I have re-done exercise 1 with the correct copy. I was hoping for some feedback on these layouts so I can revise one before printing it and bringing it to class on Thursday. Let me know which layout you think works best because I am having trouble picking one. As a reminder, my target audience is fitness enthusiasts, ages 20-35.

Erica - Revision, Exercise 1

Here are my revisions using the department articles.
Again, my target audience is young adults, ages 20-35. All of them are different from another and I don't think would work well in the same magazine. But I did this to try different layouts and color pallets. I'm not sure what direction to go in. The second layout is the same as one of my first attempts, but with minor changes.
