Spreading the Wealth part two

 

       The creative process for my magazine was very minimal as I just wanted to focus on a proven design that works and that could suit the photos in my spread the best. The columns are placed to dill the empty spaces under the image that already encompassed both pages. The text is separated in almost a bullet form style but with the bullets missing because I believe that using bullets makes the magazine look less sophisticated and childish. The branding comes in the form of this bullet style form of giving information since in the front of the magazine there is a large red circle advertising "35 tips " which lets my reader know that the magazine has easily understandable information and is not a wordy or complicated magazine.
       The pictures also had a minimal process of creativity since the only modifications to them were that i cropped them so they could fit and fill the page better. I tried to keep the pictures simple since I Just want to add emphasis to the beautiful houses and nothing else. Also I wanted to keep the text simple and easy to read. I feel that spreads with a prolific amount of information take away from the central message of the magazine so the more simple it is the better is.

In addition to that i would made the font of the regular writing the font Franklin Gothic which is big and easy to use which was important because that is the main section that my readers would be drawn to. I decided that my spread would discuss real estate as that is a topic that interested me when i mentioned it in a previous blog post. Housing id a good business to start when looking in owning a luxurious house in the future. The tips found in my spread are the same tips that could be used by anyone when it comes to owning a house that has value and class, The pictures come f...

Table of Contents

 In the creative process of designing the table of contents I heavily relied on Kiplinger's magazine and how they would design their table of contents. For the most part, Kiplinger magazine has a very minimalist designing method. They use a blank white background and generally only include one picture in the contents. To add color some of the sub headings are marked with a different color. In addition their table of contents only spawn one page. With all of this being said, it can be concluded that kiplinger has a relativity simple structure. Since my magazine "Financial Affairs" draws heavy influence from kiplinger in many aspects it would only make the sense to have similar, but not the same, type of table of contents. Example of Kiplinger's table of contents  One of the main aspects of creating a table of contents like this would be the section of a photograph that can sell my magazine. All of the pictures that Kiplinger used were picture that stood out w...
