The Brief-
Every two weeks spend 1 day designing a two-spread feature that would appear in this magazine. There must be some text, but it does not have to begin on the first spread. Find great photo’s of your chosen artist, but think beyond the expected. Look for baby pictures, a great illustration or maybe there’s a way to illustrate them with type instead of an image. Its to your advantage not to choose your friend’s band or someone too obscure. Think celebrity. Remember, you don’t actually have to write the story, but use the band/actor/performer’s real name.
Background-
This new publication targets young people from college age to young professionals. A clever sometimes sharp-toungued magazine, it focuses on music, movies and television, with reviews, investigative stories, interviews and reader polls. This magazine isnt afraid to poke fun at the subjects it profiles.
Considerations-
This could be a continueing brief that you pick up every couple of weeks. So design a grid that is flexible enough to allow for future design. This project could develop into a full magazine so consider how the spreads can be unified.
