NOTICE

Hey guys, there was (or supposedly) a peer work check today. Basically ours are postponed cause we dont have a full group. So details are as below:

FRIDAY
10 AM

Be there for our peer work check. It is REALLY important to get our peer's reviews on our work.

Group meeting on:

MONDAY after our usual classes.

We need to get ALL our layouts sorted by tuesday/wednesday. So that we can finalise everything before printing.

Regarding printing, Vee have we got any other printers? I tried calling Prontaprint, they were closed. Ill try again later.

Deepa; I need to see all your content pages ASAP. The intro page needs a little retouching. Te image looked more illustrative than graphic design. :) Try looking at advertisements, book covers, websites and etc for inspiration. Perhaps look at grid uses and RULES in graphic design too. All of us have done our pages, so we really need to see how urs look like. By monday pls and tq.

Other than that, work in Illustrator, and Veronika could lend a helping hand sorting out the layouts later on.

Today the other's works looks unique all by themselves. So we might do well with ours as well. A thought on that, me and nikolas was thnking, the next issue (if ever gonna happen again) would be a step by step understanding of the subject (viss comm). So we have to work out something to tell the people :P

sorry for pushing u all but it is for the sake of our results. :) pls do ur best and make everything count this monday. best of luck ;)

Veronika's content page 1.

what do u think of this image? it shows the range of types of graphic design

That's pretty much what the b&w doublespread will look like..by Friday I will have added other b&w images around as we said...let me know how we're doing

Hey guys, I thought of these for the history of photography spread...My main worry is that the thumbnails may be low quality and look a bit shit on print, but we can make them even smaller and add some more, or just find some more old & new camera pictures with better quality...tell me what you think...
The B&W doublespread is under construction...
Keep posting, to see where we all are doing...We also need to seriously set a date for the whole mag to be ready to send it over for printing & binding...

see you soon

graphic design intro?

MCDONALDS

GUYS LOOK AT THIS!!

suggestion for intro page. what do u guys think? gives that illustrative feel to it..doesn't it?? :D

Hey guys..I just went to this printing place, it's called call&print and it's near the mailbox...They do printing, but the guy wasn't sure about thermal bonding...anyway, check their website www.callprint.co.uk, email: birmingham@callprint.co.uk, tel...01216324518
they couldn't tell about prices etc but they will once we come up with the final thing...

for nicholas

here is idea how we can arrange your pictures on page...just find as many pictures of yours as can...

Content page 2

The page for illustration. Guys! We need to see your photography and graphic design pages! please! i'm getting worried here :(

I'm also worried about the SPINE of the magazine. This was brought up by Vee earlier. So i thought it'd be best to discuss this tomorrow. Best we do STAPLE binding:

Click here to know more.


So yea, i hope u guys have some ideas. Art directing the whole magazine is not easy for any of us. but we need everyone's resources at this point. It's gonna get tricky real soon.

half a spread :)

i cant get moving on it, i need to get helvetica first so i can layout the text, this is arial for now

i have NO clue what to do with the intro page..argh! Vee...i think i'll agree with whatever u already have..unless im struck by some inspiration hahaha

INTRO TYPO

here is example of my intro page for typo

fireworks!

hey i was just messing around with sparklers and long exposures and came out with these photo's

Yep, even more fonts!

i've got a few more but i can just show you the rest when we meet up.

More Font Ideas (Continued)

More Font Ideas

heres just a load of typography designs i found that i thought were really intresting in showing how graphic design can be used to bring words and images to live and convey meaning through design.

Fonts

these are five fonts put together in an illustrative piece, another way of showing how text and image are used together.

graphic design?

it could be classed as illustration but i thought this image was cool.
