Your next assignment is to design the 3 departments in spreads.
- Departments should have a consistent structure. Catch up with your department templates.
- Get your headline, subhead, pull quote, rubric, caption and credit line working together before you incorporate the images in your layouts.
- Keep in mind that text type should be the same throughout the magazine.
- Figure out the hang line and keep the body copy underneath that line. Images and headlines may go above but body copy should fall underneath that invisible line...
- Choose your images wisely. Try to find images in hi-res so that you can have the scale flexibility in your design. We recommend you use your own imagery (photo/illustration/collage etc.) or check out flickr.com or use the public library.
- Make sure you have some scale change in your composition.
- Read your course PDF for more info.
- Look at the SPD annuals for inspiration.
- Check out student works.
- Post them on your blog ahead of time and print to size and bring to class.
