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.
