Wavelength article inspiration-

These pages a from various articles fro Wavelength surf magazine, I have compiled my favourite pages which inspire me most. Starting from the top (page 1) - this page really inspires me from the insane composition of the image against the text on the left. The overall layout of the page is very effective as well as the use of colour to enhance the text next to the image. They used a sharper font to contrast against the blurred background which makes it easier to read and stand out against the image. Page 2- This double page spread inspires me because of the interesting composition of images across the blank page. It is unique as each image is a different size- none of them lineup however it still work really effectively. The images themselves are very effectively composed and each show a different scene which all follow the similar theme of surfing but emit an eerie lonely atmosphere. The use of positive and negative space is really interesting in making the pictures stand out against the background more prominently. Page 3 and 4 - This double spreads are interesting because they incorporate graphic posters against an image but works really effectively. They use similar colours shown in the image into the poster which contrasts nicely. Both pages use complementary colours which are picked from the image and turned into a poster. I feel inspired by the groovy text and graphic drawings which are very effective in making an article more interesting. Overall I feel very inspired by the multiple unique page layouts in wavelngth and it is something I will try and incorporate into my work- in this project I would like to try and create graphic posters to incorporate into the magazines.

Foam Symmetry magazine response

 My response to Foam Symmetry magazine- The starting points of this project was to look at multiple magazines and create responses to them adapting to each Individual style. For this section I decided to look at Foam Symmetry Magazine based in Newquay is a magazine I have always got copies of and love reading because of their minimalistic style which really inspires me. After looking closely into what makes their style so unique I took a few of there pages I felt most inspired by and created this response.   A main style that reoccurs in foam symmetry is layering- of images and text. This is something I wanted to explore in my own work so I created layout that incorporated this. From this experiment I learned that pairing contrasting images works really well to create a layout. For the first page I layered a colourful, less defined image (due to speed blur) with black and w...

Foam symmetry magazine

 Foam symmetry-  1.  2.  3.  Foam symmetry is a surf magazine which explore surf craft, travel and immersive stories. I have complied some of my favourite pages from their magazine (issue 20) which inspire me. The main reason I chose to explore this magazine is because of their creative layouts and beautiful images. Page1, I chose this page because I felt very inspired by their use of handwriting overlapped on pictures, I think this creates a really effective and unique outcome. The layering of images with contrasting colour schemes (black and white and bright colour ) looks really effective and id something I would like to try in my own layouts. They also use contrasting fonts on this page- large handwritten, flows writing next to neat small type font. I find the overall layout of this page very inspiring and is something I would like to explore. Page 2- This page incorporates a composition I haven't seen before so I feel its very unique and inspired me. Here t...
