Tasked to produce three alternative sets of magazine pages (250 x 202mm trimmed page size), which explore the use of different grid systems. Each set consists of two double-page spreads giving us a 'splash' and 'turn' page to work with. 

​

Each set features:

• a headline (written by me)

• a sub-heading (written by me)

• a stand-first (written by me)

• at least one pull quote (written by me)

• at least one caption (written by me)

• folios

• running head/foot

• a minimum of four pictures (taken by me, must be varied across the different spreads)

• a minimum of 600 words of dummy copy taken from any source

​

While the basic content remains the same for each set of spreads, what was required was of us to explore the effects of using different column structures:

• 6 columns

• 9 columns

• 11 columns

​

Each number of columns provided its own opportunities and restrictions; it was tasked to us to explore the relationship between images, typographic elements and negative space; and how differing column structures affect the page. We explored the effective styling for all the elements within our typographic hierarchy. 

​

Overall, I really enjoyed this project. I found a solid new appreciation for editorial design and it is something I am considering expanding my knowledge in.
