Deconstruct Magazine
“If I have a style, I am not aware of it.”
-Michael Graves
With an emphasis on editorial design, type, illustration, and photography are combined in this subject to solve design communication problems. The student draws on all the tools available to assist in solving the industry-based problems presented. Students have the option of either redesign a real magazine or collecting articles on the web and creating their magazine from scratch.
“Checks Over Stripes”
-Drake
Knowledgeable of the basic elements and principles of design, I was able to effectively adapt the basic elements and principles to a variety of print materials. I developed a method for integrating type and image by using a typographic system to structure a layout, selecting typefaces best suited to a layout and the concept of the magazine. I created a solution to visual problems from concept to finished design.
