Wavelength magazine response

Wavelength magazine response-

After looking into wavelength magazine and their style and layout techniques I decided to create some work in response to this. I have been very interested in exploring compositions and layouts after exploring editorial photography and making my own magazine in first year. Therefore I thought it would be interesting to expand on this and develop my skills. I will be using adobe indesign and illustrator to create these pages.

Magazine- Evaluation- The starting points of this project was to experiment with creating a magazine in inspiration from some of my favourite mags. I wanted to explore a range of styles and layouts so I looked a multiple magazines each with a different style such as: CarveMag, Wavelength and Foam Symmetry Mag. It was really inspiring to look deeper into these magazines, looking into their unique layouts and why they have placed images and words where they have. This helped me understand layouts better and how to create an effective page spread- which images will go together, which colour and type font and the use of complementary colour. Carvemag inspired me because of the ability to layout a page with photos which compliment the article and fit into together. They also manage to fit in large bodies of writing into of photos depending on the composition of the image itself. Wavelength Magazine inspired me because of the use of graphic design/ poster type pages which explore colour and ...

 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-  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...
