departments

department 1: green

this department is about an ecological building in korea. I obviously couldn't take a picture due to its location, so what I did is scan an architectural book about this building, printing out and taking my own pictures. since my magazine is not a architectural magazine, I thought this would work.



department 2: street
this department is about street scenes globally. I chose amsterdam and tokyo. my concept is scrap book-like. I tried to print out photographs and department elements such as rubric, folio and headline, and scanned them together or photographed them. I'm still struggling with this department.

  1. hmm.

    you're losing the template here.

    i suggest you pull back on the number of images and do a simple solution using your template.

    once you've done that, i'm guessing you'll find more interesting solutions that allow for more images.

    remember to keep the department typography the same throughout, even if you change layout dramatically.

    k?

  2. above comment for the "scrap book" layout.

    re your green layout--

    you've done a nice job with the font choices and combinations, at least as far as i can tell from here.

    but, you've written the word "geen" far too many times in the first few inches of the spread.

    and, your hangline isn't clearly articulated making the story start and rubric, headline, subhead, pull quote, byline info confusing.

    begin with the formal template in these few fonts.

    then break away, inserting the image as you have it and keeping the story start at the hang line.

    try to figure other words for "green."

    overall, great start.
