(51) You can draw right? Of course!! Cover Page Layout

Hey guys so I've made a layout for our final cover page so I can get an idea of how I want it, so here go, I'll show you and then explain my thought process with you all-

In terms of font size- I plan to have the hierarchy be like this

-Largest-

Title

Sub Heading 1

Sub Heading 2

Sub Text

Squiggly Line (Regular Text)

Issue - Date - Price

-Smallest-

I also plan to have 1 main image of our 1st model and barcode, as for the rest of the white space I would fill it with some abstract colors and maybe an image background if I'm feeling creative, but likely not as I feel it would distract, I'll look for a modern serif font for some of the larger pieces of text and use more simply and formal fonts for body text as it will be easier to read, the other small details will be easy as well.

Anyways that's all for today guys, later I'll review the table of contents layout and then the double page spread layout.

Until then, thanks for reading!

(64) It's a long story...Creative Critical Reflection #2

--Dawn of the first day-- Hey guys welcome back to another blog, today we are going to be answering another question for my creative critical reflection. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? My magazine product targets men of course as it's a men's fashion magazine and it's made for men of all ages and backgrounds. I've made the magazine eye catching with flashy colors and intriguing cover lines. I've done this because it appeals to viewers easier and makes it easier to retain their attention while conveying my points across. The color scheme is mostly red and blue and I chose this specifically since red is a more energetic color and it calls for more attention and blue makes a good contrast to that which helps add emphasis in that design context. Since this is a magazine for all ages I did make use of some informalities and jokes such as calling the magazine the "Drip Edition" and adding cover...

(63) But wait...there's more!! Creative Critical Reflection #1

The end is nigh. Welcome back guys, well now that we've finished our magazine, let's reflect on this journey! So this is one of four critical reflections that I will be doing! Within each of these I will be answering and reflecting on a question about our magazine. So for today, How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? Well to answer the first part of this question, let me put it simply, my magazine consists of all the basic conventions of a magazine. It includes a masthead, a main image, cover lines, a date line, a barcode, and a price. Throughout the production process of this magazine I was inspired by many different magazines like Men's Journal and Playboy Magazine. In the cover page, the first thing you notice is my masthead. The masthead is the title of a magazine located at the top of the cover page. I used font hierarchy to determine what I wanted the viewer to see first. I called the magazine Menl...

(30) It's not about the GRA...anatomy of page DEsign part 2!!!

*Dying* argh...totally worth...the joke...*dies* If you can appreciate that statement for it's depth then you have great perception. I hope these aren't all flying over your head, anyways let's get back to...work...I MEAN FUN LEARNING!! You believing that right? You said no? Good, I don't wanna pretend, let's get straight to it, today I will be covering the remaining terms I see as critical to understand when discussing the anatomy of page design. So to recap I will be discussing body text, images, and graphics today. Let us begin! Body Text: The body text is basically the main text content of an article or feature within a magazine. This text is typically set in a readable font and size, and is positioned in a way that allows the reader to easily scan and read through the content. The body text is an important part of the overall design of a magazine page, as it provides the main information and content for the reader. In terms of page design, the body text is t...
