During this week, find inspiration in various magazines (or elsewhere) for your design. Take pictures with your phone; scan with your computer. However you do it, show me your inspiration. Also this week, begin to design your magazine’s logo and develop a color palette. Designing the logo in Illustrator will help you get acquainted with its capabilities.
Create a PDF that includes the following two parts and submit it on Canvas.
Part I: Logo proposals
On a single page, produce the following.
- Three different potential logos
- A paragraph with each logo that includes:
- The name of the typeface
- Its basic history / where it came from / why it was created / who designed it
- What do you like about it (why does it fit the look/feel of your publication)
Part II: Color Palette proposal
On a separate page, submit a proposed color palette you plan to use with your publication, with hex and Pantone information.
Part III: Inspiration
Display at least five examples from magazines or other locations of type, images, colors or other elements.
Due Friday, Oct. 7, at midnight.
Example: Allison Brown proposal and inspiration
