Reflection:

When I look back over this assignment I am very proud of the body of work I have created and produced. This assignment has taught me the importance of time management and given me a real insight in time frames for projects in the design industry. My strong point in design is digital illustration and I feel like the imagery I have generated throughout this project is strong and I am very proud of it. I feel like I used this aspect to my advantage when creating these designs. I have never previously worked with other people work before so found this a little bit difficult at the start however thoroughly enjoyed this as it gave me insight into working around things I don’t necessarily like and change/adjust them to make them more cohesive and fitting with other aspects of my publication design. I adjusted things such as text columns, font size, font styles, colour, image layouts and a couple more things that helped me create a publication that was cohesive throughout. If I had longer I would have experimented more and played around with layout, as I could’ve improved on this if I was given more time. Something else I would work on next time would be creating a range of concepts and developments rather than have only a few of each. In conclusion, overall I feel asthough I have produced my best work in the time frame given and have created variations to the best of my ability to put forward to my final project. I feel like this design is fitting towards each individual interview included within this publication design and overall I think it presents the work well.

Cohesivity of Front and Back Cover: Front and Back Cover Pages FINAL

I wanted to incorporate similar elements between these two cover pages. I did this by keeping it simple yet informative and subtle. I added in elements from each article/intervioew inside to add a bit of character to this design.

Back Cover Concepts:

I created two very different background cover concepts to allow for me to have a contrast between the two options. I want to make it cohesive and flow well together when put with the front cover so from here I will pick and choose which fits best.

Contents Page Ideas:

I started off by scattering the numbers all over the page however thought it looked messy and wasn't very clear to read. I then changed this to be in a similar layout to my front cover using the black lines and bold/regular font styles.

Updated Acknowledgements Page:

I updated this for the final print out of my publication.

Change in Acknowledgements Page:

The original text I used in my acknowledgements page wasn't the correct format. So I changed and corrected this when doing the final edits to my design.

The new text contains the more important elements that need to be acknowledged:

Inside Cover Page:

I have decided to stick with this design, I added in come colour to the original black and white design and I feel like it matches the publication a bit more and adds some character.
