Magazine Layout

Today I have made some progress in designing the two-page spread of my summer issue. I was very conflicted on the type of layout since in my 4th post I said that there would only be five outfits and out of those five outfits, I would choose like three. Well it turns out that the type of layout that I wanted needed more than three outfits. The reason why there needs to be exactly five outfits featured in my magazine is because I need to fill in space of the two page spread.

Another conflict that I faced when designing my two page spread is coming up with the name of my article. I didn't know if I should say "Beach Chic" or "Summer Chic". I decided to go with "Summer Chic" because the clothes that will be featured in the magazine isn't just worn for the beach, you can wear it anywhere, anytime, and anyplace. I don't want the audience to think it is only beach clothes.



I haven't yet designed the table of contents or the cover page because my partner wasn't available to work together to come up with the designs since we have to have similar ideas. But next week, we will come up with the designs so that we are ready to make the designs into a reality. So to sum up everything, there has been a couple of changes in my designs and I am one step closer to fully finalizing my magazine. See you next week!

Table of Contents

Today I have been working on the table of contents. So far the structure of the table of contents look really cool. The reason why I like the structure is because it's different from all the table of contents I've seen in the magazines. The structure itself is just what I pictured in my brain. The only issue is that I don't know if the font sizes are readable for the audience to read. I also don't know if I should include all the pictures in the table of contents and instead just add like two pictures that match the two articles out of five articles mentioned in the table of contents. I just don't know if the size is proportional to the magazine because on the computer is different than the actual print size magazine. Even if I include the two pictures in the table of contents it will still look boring and dull. I feel like the table of contents is missing color or graphic design on the top right hand corner.  I don't know. If i talk to my partner when we get...

Filters

Image
For my cover photo, I want my photo to have a filter that makes the fashion pop out even more. I also want to add a retro feeling. Even though my fashion isn't retro, I still want to give the photo a pinch of character. Here are the photos of different filters: Original photo Dodger Warm color Twilight I used PicsArt to put filters on the cover photo. Picsart is an image editing, collage, and drawing application and a social network.  PicsArt enables users to take and edit pictures, draw with layers, and share their images with the PicsArt community and on other networks like  Facebook  and  Instagram . The app is available on  iOS ,  Android , and  Windows  mobile devices.  I like all three filters but I think I want to choose the Dodger filter because I like how it brightens the background and highlights the outfits of the model. Also, the dodger filter adds character to the photo. I am very glad that I didn't have to u...

Cover Page Dilemma

Image
I have finally started working on the cover page on Canva. I have been having difficulty in organizing the subtexts on the side of the cover page. Based on the fashion magazines on google, they were all on one font with different sizes with three different colors. I don't really know what to do because the background I chose for the cover page doesn't allow me to have a wide color scheme. The only color that is visible on display is White. Black and Turquoise can also be seen but only on certain parts on the background photo but it doesn't seem to blend very well. My cousin and I have been finding alternatives so that the color scheme will blend well, but so far we have no solution. I am starting to get really stressed. I feel like I'm running behind with this project since it's due in like three weeks and I have only been working on just the cover page and I still have to work on the table of contents and the two page spread. It turns out that the the inspirat...
