'Zine' Designs... Finals and mounted!

As you can see I've improved my designs again since the last time I worked on the computer, using feedback I recieved from different people. I am really pleased with the way they have turned out and I think this project has really widened my knowledge about Indesign.

'Zine' Designs... Working on the computer.

I'd never used Indesign before this, and with the help from Jeff I created the top design for my DPS. I can still work on it to improve it but for a first attempt I was very pease with the way it turned out!

The second design I did on the computer was the Hello and Welcome one. As a first design I think it worked well, however, the photo I used turned out pixelated so I definetly need to change that. There is still room for improvement though.

Working on the computer still, I've tried to improve my DPS about travel. I recieved some good feedback about these from Jess and peers and feedback in ways I could slightly improve these again for my final. I think hese designs are definelty getting there though and I am starting to enjoy and feel more comfortable using Indesign.

'Zine' Ideas

 

 These are a few more designs for my Zine DPS and the introductionto the 2nd brief with a few designs. I'm starting to feel more comfortable with my rough sketches and estimating the right amount of text.

More designs for the 2nd breif - the Hello and Welcome DPS. I definetly feel alot more confident with designing on a smaller scale now too. I am finding it alot easier.

 

Working on the final part of the 2nd brief - The front cover. I think this was probably the easiest task to do because theres not as much to think about with allignments of text, this is why I left it until last. I was also trying to make sure that the Hello and Welcome DPS and the front cover looked like the belonged to the same magazine, so I tried to add element which would pair the 2 designs!

'Zine' Ideas

I chose what fonts I wanted to use and drew them out. I chose a serif font and a sans serif font. Garamond and Helvetica.

These are a few of my designs for the 'Zine' I will eventually develop them on the computer. I think my favourite designs are the bottom 2, I've added a stip of a map, and I think this links to me subject well as I'm talking about Travel in Wolverhampton City.

This is another page of my designs for the 'Zine' I really like the 2 left hand ones. The top one is kind of reflective with both parts of the title on they're side. I was also trying to represent roads as my subject is travel. The bottome left hand design, I think i could play around with positioning of text.
