MASTHEADS

For my magazine tittle i wanted to do a simple clean design with a little bit of interest by adding the "brain neurons" at the beginning of the tittle. I think this design would attract an older more sophisticated audience. None of this mastheads ended up working for the actual magazine but it did gave me an idea of what type face i wanted to use.

Magazine Sketches

For my magazine cover I want to show a disease of people being scare of breakfast, I want to show that it is a mind problem, and so i kind of want to draw a brain in illustrator and incorporated some how, i was thinking that instead of a person popping out of the cup, and maybe a fork going through it to show how frustrating a phobia can be.

In this sketch my teacher gave me permission to focus more on the phycological aspect of the magazine rather than food and breakfast as originally thought. 

In this sketch i am moving on into something more different, by putting image at the left of my magazine. 

Magazine cover questions.

• My target audience will be adults who are interested in innovating philological stuff. 
• The name of my magazine will be, Mind issues. Phobia has connotations to the human mind, and physiological issues.
• My masthead will look very scholar and scientific. I want to use very formal fonts not to decorative.
• In the cover i want to have an image of a brain measuring its weight, and thinking about how horrible waffles are.
• I will have lines like "What about the 90% we don't use", "Phobia to breakfast?", "Amazing mind tricks inside!", "Einstein brain research inside!"

For my magazine i want to use san serif typefaces mostly, with thin strikes. I also want to use bribrant colors like red, yellow, brown and green.

We did a mind map, to come up with new ideas for our new project, we wrote down what each mag add reminded us of and came up with various words. The class choose waffles and phobia as our subject for our magazine cover.

In here i used the pen tool to crop myself, and the clone tool to remove the model that was behind me, i then use indesign to add text. i also tried to play with contrast brightness and saturation on my self- to make it look like i was just not pasted there.

Final mounted project, i used gray mounting paper because of the predominantly black borders in the designs.

 

Above I was trying to decide if I should use purple or black for the little code box, I decided to leave it purple to create more unity.I also decided to use grid on my text to not just make it look like text there, it also gave me the feel of the pixel theme because of the kinda of boxy shape grids have.

This was the 2nd critique for the new seed packets including the back, the other two seed packets didn't get any comments. This critique was helpful cause i had bad grammar, and they told me to make a few more letters green (back of seed packet) to balance out the composition more.

 

This was m first try for the back of my seed packet, but i felt like it needed more color and more hirerchy with the text, In this one i tried doing that with "video game controllers!" by making it red but it seemed too simple, and it wasn't unifying the composition as a whole.

This was my sketch for the back of my seed packet, mostly the text I was going to use.
