Q1 – Practical assignment (Two and a half days) Have a look at all the tasks and lessons you have done over the last few weeks. Your task now is to make a cover (a front page) for your very own magazine.
- Go through the Graphic Design history timeline and choose a style and designer that you feel relates best to your personality.
- Using that designer/style as inspiration, use your name or part of your name and create a title/name for your magazine. Feel free to be creative!
- Add your own pictures, text, illustrations, elements as well as the proper typography and titles for your cover.
- The expression must represent your personality (remember the color choice regarding this).
- Remember to include what kind of magazine it is, for example cars/bikes, fashion, design, weddings, etc.
Part of my last name actually spells LOVE, so I went with that. I did not want it to be a sweet version of the name, so I chose street art and graffiti (1970-2000) as my inspiration for this assignment. Quite fun!
Q2 – Presenting and discussing (half a day – 4 hours) Post your final design on the forum (Lessons and Activities forum) for comments from your tutor. Remember to include what your inspiration was (designer/style from the Graphic Design timeline). Discuss the results with your fellow students (your group) on the forum.
- Explain shortly how you perceive your group members through their covers.
- Do they see your personality through your cover, too?
- Make a short comment if you feel they’ve nailed it!
