Chelsey Roy - Exercise 2

Hello everyone!

Here are my spreads from last week - my target audience is New Englanders in their college years, ages 18 to 26, males and females. On the 3rd grid I was trying to push my limits and do something different with the angles and layout... There are some awkward spaces that I could use suggestions on! I know I need to fill that space but can't quite put my finger on it...

Made some major changes to this spread design based on the feedback I've received.

Izzy Bains Exercise 3

I chose to design similar mastheads for this assignment, I like the magazines that have mastheads that you can see from a distance, and I kind of took a more food magazine approach with a large image of food as the cover.

What I would like some feedback on is, what do you guys think of the masthead?
Typography choices, are they okay, too thick at times in weight?
Are some colors extracted from the color palette too similar and blend with the background?
Any suggestions for how many cutlines you guys think is appropriate, 2 or 3?

Brannelly Exercise 3 COVER

As a reminder, my target audience is fitness enthusiasts. I researched fitness magazine covers such as Shape, Fitness, and Women's Health. For my first cover design, I tried to intimidate a traditional fitness magazine cover featuring an athlete in top notch shape. For the second cover, I wanted to play with the idea of promoting healthy eating. For the third design, I wanted to showcase just the food. Which variation do you think works best? For all three designs, I chose to use bold, vertical, sans-serif typefaces for the logotypes and the headings because they showcase modernism, strength, and structure which are all qualities that can be associated with my audience. Most colors were extracted from the images themselves, but the softness of the palette is something I want to continue throughout the magazine because fitness fanatics focus their "diets" on organic, all-natural, healthy foods and this color palette mirrors that lifestyle. The more feedback, the better. :)

Hey all,
Here are my potentials for the cover of Habitat Magazine. The target audience includes teenagers as well as some young adults so I tried to keep it colorful, yet sophisticated. Each one tries to focus on the theme "The Future of Food" while appealing to this specific crowd so it was hard keeping a balance of both playful & serious. Please me know which one of these is the most successful, and I'll then try my best to improve upon it to make it as enticing as possible for the final design!

Carissa - Exercise 3

Hey everyone! So I had a little trouble finalizing my audience but now I think I got it: Young adult/college women. With that said, here are my cover designs! I believe I want to go forward with number 3, because I think this one matches the best with my target audience's tone.

Thanks!

Hey Guys! Again my target is city dwellers.  I picture the magazine at the checkout line at Whole Foods or some some small independently owned grocer with artisanal cheeses and wine. Some of the photos need better cropping but I didn't want to spend too much time on photoshopping the low-res images.  Let me know what you think.  I wanted to approach them from a serious, Time-like style, a more casual Improper Bostonian style, and one from a classic sleek style.  Let me know what you think.
