Design Meeting for the Magazine

After the first meeting with the design team for the magazine design, Sam, our editor, came back with a few points that we needed to discuss.


We first talked about the design of the front cover of the magazine; deciding that we want a simple, iconic, bold design, but we would also like it to have a Matt finish with raised writing. Furthermore, we discussed the image that would go on the front page of the magazine. At first we thought we would go for a graphic and iconic design, that would grab the attention of passers by so they would pick up the magazine.


However, the designers posed the idea of having a student on the front cover. Initially we did not like the idea of having a student on the front cover, as it seemed like a boring idea, that would not grab the readers attention. But, we thought that this idea would work because we could add some effects to the students picture, making the magazine visually appealing.


We then discussed the layout for the individual articles to tell the designers, so they could set up some designs for us to look at.


While this is being done, we will continue to work on our articles.
