Inspiring Magazine Designs

While scrolling through many different magazine covers, ads and magazine bodys i was overall inspired by many things that stood out to me and had very unique looks to them. 


Cover:
Off Black Magazine รข€“ The Raw issue. Creative Direction and design by Bonnevier Ainsworth. Cover photography by Johanna Nyholm. offblackmagazine.com bonnevierainsworth.comThe 20 best magazine covers of 2013 | Graphic design | Creative Bloq

Body and Spread:
The text of a double page as a shape is really eye catching and evokes interest in the text even without interest in the contentThis is the most artistic spread that i found, because of the way it took the aspects of the photo and the way their bodies are positioned and applied it to the text. The image is clearly the focus of the article but the words dont get lost and with the affect is easy to read and follow.
The continuity of this design is strong because of the unique repetition of the bright yellow on both pages in two distinct ways. I like that the photo of Andy Warhol looks like it was cut out by hand, which looks artsy and personal. The photo to the left of him is a nice touch and gives a good backdrop for the white text.

Project09 Surrealism and Photomontage

Image
In this image i just took a bunch of different weird things and cut them and then placed them around the background image. This image shows surrealism because there are cars riding on a lamp-post, there is a huge eye in the sky, a big face behind the mountain and a person sitting on top of a building.  Furthermore, the cars are the smallest thing in the image which is unrealistic as they are normally bigger than people, eyes, and faces. In this image I chose to put a tidy that I made to make the sky look abnormal and then I put a fish in the sky to add even more weirdness to the picture. This is surrealism because the sky is not actually like that and also because fish don't fly.

In general, our shots are taken from various angles and of many different object and things in many different areas. Also I think that main focus of the dystopic images was grimness and the main theme for the utopic was happiness and liveliness.
