As a result of the project, I have been able to explore and experiment, both contextually and visually during stages of the module. From reseaching the contextual backgrounds and visual examples of the subjects, it was possible to gather a wider understanding of how to create a design of my own.
By getting an understanding of the ways that the media communicates to people, it was easier to start gathering ideas that could help with the process of the initial design stage. As a result of the initial ideas stage, I was able to get feedback from peers on which idea should be pursued.
By the prototype stage, it was possible to narrow down the design process to three different options. Either, as a womens magazine, men’s magazine or an alternative which would cater for both sexes.
After recieving feedback again, it was possible to choose 1 idea to be used as the final development. From the feedback, I was able to see what layout, colour scheme and typeface would work best in the design for the cover of a magazine.
As a result, the magazine that I had produced was inspired by the mens magazines in terms of layout. However, it was also able to communicate positive ideas about how the audience should be addressed and the ways in which subject matters should be approached.
Overall, I feel that my final design was able to show the intentions of the project. However there were several stages along the way that were disgarded as a result of peer feedback and analysis.
