Week 8

Assignment:

To create 2 magazine spreads using both our Lincoln illustration and the text/illustration creation.

Craft:

I used Indesign in order to create the two magazine spreads. These two spreads were created in order to incorporate the element of boxes. Looking at magazines in box -form makes it easier to create magazine spreads.

Composition:

The magazine consists of illustrations that take an entire page of the spread. The spreads were created with boxes in mind. So both spreads have boxes for the headline, byline, and body text. There were additional boxes that acted as accents. These accents pulled out certain designs from the featured illustrations.

Concept:

The concept of these spreads are to have the focus be on the artwork. The artwork takes up most of the spreads. And the illustrations also inspired the colors for the headlines and bylines. There were also accent boxes that took elements from the main illustrations. All the elements of the spreads lead the reader back to the artwork. The text is secondary in this magazine.
