Week 12











Craft: This week I have finally got into the groove/ style of what my magazine layout is going to be. It is fairly simple but after all it is an art magazine and the focus should be on that art. I changed a lot of things. For the introduction sections, so to speak, for my projects I make the full spreads, to catch the readers attention and add spark some curiosity into there minds. I wanted to get them excited about what is on the following pages.

Composition: The composition for my magazine is mainly focused on the art. All of the illustrations featured in my magazine are big, clear, and bold. Even though I do have a lot of text, I feel that I managed to create a nice balance between the two. I guess you could call it a could "cluttered" look.

Concept: The concept of my magazine. Thats a really good question, I didn't really come into making this magazine with any particular concept. I was honestly just playing with the software, InDesign, and see what all I could do with it. I looked at a lot of other magazine for inspiration and ideas as to how to go at laying out my spreads. But if I had to pick some type of concept for my magazine I would say that I am going for a sleek abstract, bold color feeling.
