Double Page Layout - layout incorporates the text chunks and images to look like the actual screens at van Gogh Live - small people wandering in and out, + van goth sunflowers growing out behind the screens. Lots of blocky shapes so they should be counter-acted by the growing sunflowers.
Dummy Articles - on the paper plan, but include different aspects of art such as architecture (Minecraft, other programs that incorporate art), business (guy sells 13 year collage for millions) and emotional relation (young teen makes money off of small art business basically), only the middle of which is actually a real event and article, the others are fake but still somewhat realistic.
Main Article - details the event of Van Gogh Live, his life, his art, and why the reader should go or be interested basically.
Colour Scheme - like the sunflower paintings themselves, a lot of yellow and yellowish-green and possibly some blues/oranges to balance it out, to compare to the dark background.
You have shared your good ideas in class with me on your laptop, such as your sketches of your design layouts.
ReplyDelete1. When we discussed this, I suggested that your initial ideas were a little 'busy' and that you would have to streamline your magazine layout. Aim to think more Vogue magazine than a teen pop mag - clear not clutter.
2. You will be working in Adobe Illustrator (not Photoshop).
