magazine title(masthead)

I decided on the top photo for my title design.  I started out with the bottom photo, but a lot of people thought that the rigidness of the waves reminded them of roofing shingles more then they did waves.  In order to get a more organic feel I used my paintbrush tool.

Typefaces

These are some of the typefaces that I looked at for the magazine.  I liked the second one and the seventh one the best but I'm not entirely satisfied so I'm going to keep looking for other options.

sketches

For my sketches I went with the idea of a diver and the title "Total Submersion" as the title. It is designed to be a magazine for recreational diving.  I like the middle and bottom layout the best.  I like the way I have the title of the magazine laid out in both of them. I know that I will go with the image of a diver and  something else (maybe a sea turtle or a school of fish) in the background.

Mind Map 2

I probably should have posted this before posting the Mood Board.  I started out with the idea of the outdoors and different activities associated with being outside.  I had ideas with flying, climbing, caving, boating, diving, and many more.  

Mood Board 2

This is my mood board for the magazine project.  I went off of the idea of outdoor activities.  I more specifically liked the idea of water sports and water based activities such as, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, jet skiing, white water rafting, surfing, fishing, diving, and cave diving.

photoshop/indesign project

For this project, we were supposed to use a combination of photoshop, illustrator, and indesign.  Photoshop was used to manipulate the photos and change the colors.  Illustrator was used to do vector line drawings.  Indesign is used to put all of the cells together and to include the photos.

sketchup

I started out watching the tutorials and creating simple shapes using basic tools such as the line tool and the rectangle tool.  I then watched the tutorial with the chairs and began to re-create them. 

Final project

Stunning

For my last seed packet, my idea was stunning.  I started out with the diamond earrings originally with a round top part and a tear drop shaped bottom.  I feel I was very successful with the bottom part of the earring, but when I was working on the round diamond I felt like it lacked the depth of the bottom one, so I chose to reflect the bottom one up top as well.  I also changed the hair on girl from black with tones of purple to brunette because I was having trouble getting the typeface color to stand out. 

Sheik

The next packet I did was sheik. My first design(pictured at top) felt a little flat and "cartoonish" compared with the bold lips I ended up with for my last packet.  I decided to change the shape of the eye to make it look more in-depth and feminine. I also changed the make up colors quite a bit and got rid of the eyelashes.  I decided to use a thick line of mascara instead.  The typeface for the word "sheik" was also changed in order to match the typeface between all of my packets

Edited design

For the Bold seed packet, this is the final design that I arrived at.  I made many, many changes to it including fuller, brighter lips that suggest a glamorous pucker, smaller whiter lights around the title, A completely different typeface for the word "bold" that does not have an outline, and a more detailed background.

First design

This was my first design that I began working with.  My concept was grow your own bold.  The other packets in the series were grow your own sheik and grow your own stunning.  These were things that I thought about when I heard the word glamour.

sketch

I know that I'm just now posting all of the work that I did on my project instead of posting all the way through. I was having a lot of internet trouble. I took the time to document much of my work as screen shots and am uploading them now.


This is the sketch that I based almost all of my facial design off of.  It also happens to be katy perry's face.
