Magazine Project

1. How does the design that you created demonstrate your knowledge of Magazine Design and the parts of a magazine cover and interior?

Designing this magazine made me realize how difficult it is to have the front cover match the inside of the magazine.

2. In what ways does your magazine connect to the corporate identity of the magazine? What are some design queues that you used from the existing magazine?

I tried to copy how W Magazine does their cover of the magazine and have the same fonts and the same masthead.

3. How did completing the brainstorming packet and sketches affect your design process?

The sketches helped me understand exactly what I was trying to accomplish on Adobe Illustrator.

4. How did you like working with a partner? How do you think working with a partner makes the design process easier and more difficult?

It was easy working with a partner because we brainstormed ideas and came to a conclusion we could both agree on for most parts of the magazine.

5. Looking at your partner’s design, if you were to design your partner’s portion by yourself how would it look different? What would you have changed?

I’d put the article in 4 long columns but other than that I wouldn’t change a thing.

6. Describe the ideal partner (co-worker / co –designer)?

Co-designer because you can bounce ideas off of each other to create a well organized magazine.
