J-152 Section 1
Magazine Cover Project (Project no. 1)
Requirements:
Photograph
There should be one main photograph on the cover of your magazine. There can be more than one but this is not a necessity and you WILL NOT get any extra points for using extra photos. This is a creative decision.
Banner/Nameplate (whatever you want to call it)
Your nameplate is everything that goes into the title of your magazine (ie Elle, Maxim, Time). As for your magazines you will make a new nameplate for a new magazine. Do not recreate Sports Illustrated or ESPN magazine. If you are making a sports magazine you must come up with a NEW name.
All of the design elements come into effect here (size of your nameplate, size of the text in your nameplate, font color, anything that you can/want to do to make your nameplate look good)
Teasers
Teasers are the text items on the front of a magazine that 'tease' you into the stories inside. For you, and this may be different for Dannell's sections so don't be alarmed, you need a minimum of THREE teasers and a maximum of FIVE teasers. Any more will lose points as will not having at least three. Again, font size, color, placement, everything comes into play here. CRAP!
Extras
There are countless extras that can go into the front of a magazine. I want to see what your imagination and your knowledge of magazines can come up with. What else goes onto the front of a magazine? (Hint: I am talking about things like the bar code and such)
Remember you are DESIGNING so BE CREATIVE…have fun and envision your project and work to get it done that way. Don't just get to a point where something gets hard and you give up. Ask questions, post to the blog, send me an E-mail, send the class an E-mail. ASK TRY ASK..that’s the only way you will learn. (That and actually opening the program)
REMINDERS
1. EVERYTHING goes on a new layer STARTING WITH YOUR MAIN PHOTO. Don't set your photo as you background cause then you will lose control of it for the duration and will have to start over. Set the background as a white/clear layer and LAYER 1 should be your photo.
2. Edit your photos separate from your mag cover project. Get them ready first, then start laying out.
This is all that is coming to me right now…anything else I will send more later.
GOOD LUCK!
