Images 5, 6, 9, 12, 16 page layout is used in my magazine design. For each section of my magazine I have an introduction page in relation to what are the contents that would be in the next following pages. I would have a title for that section and a little quote underneath it, also in relation to the title itself. Please refer to the previous post Final On Screen to view the different sections of the magazine. They are pages 7, 13, 21, 27.

Cover Page design progress

Image 1 - Placing of background with Masthead.

First picture from the left shows overall of background photo. No emphasis of what is more important.
2nd picture shows more of the person and what his holding and less of the background.
3rd picture shows more emphasis on the food. Less on the person and background.

Below is an example from my progress. Photo of girl eating carrot does not belong to me.

Image 2 - showing everything in the picture

Image 3 - Emphasis on girl. 

Image 4 - Emphasis on carrot.
Less on the girl because she is not the main topic.
She is also not an important person.

Masthead Design Progress

Masthead definition:

- The title of a newspaper or magazine at the head of the front or editorial page.

My first idea for this magazine assignment is to do on pets. 

Sketch 1 - Masthead design for Pet Magazine

I did not do much on the pet magazine masthead designs as there were a some classmates doing on pets as well.

So I decided to change to a desserts magazine.

Sketch 2 - Names and slogans for Dessert Magazine

So I listed down a few names and slogans.

Feedback from lecturer was that Dessert Days just too common.

Sweet Talk was just ok.

Drools is good.

Sketch 3 - Drools magazine masthead and magazine design.

So, since the name Drools is good, my lecturer suggested why not do both food and desserts together.
Have a food magazine and a separate special edition desserts recipe magazine.
So I thought maybe have the magazine such as the front as food and the dessert at the back.
To distinguish the the difference between the 2 is by having it back to back and upside down.
(Refer to Sketch 3)
Started some Masthead designs.

Sketch 4

Tried to incorporate some food and eating utenciles into the masthead.
