Quite pleased with the outcome, think it fits my old design while becoming more streamlined.

# data[].attributes.body
This does not really work, in my opinion. It looks a bit too messy.

# data[].attributes.body
Printed version of my spread.

I don't understand why the photo did not print- something I need to look into.

Otherwise I enjoy the results.

# data[].attributes.body
Version of page with a coffee pot illustration.

Not sure if I am allowed to exclude the image.

I do feel like the shapes were a bit more sophisticated and met my tone of voice better.

# data[].attributes.body
Idea for illustration on front page

# data[].attributes.body
Wondering where I could place a quote within my piece.

# data[].attributes.body
I prefer this outcome, but I must explore more.

# data[].attributes.body
Don't love this outcome. Seems too repetitive to me? Also the shape is distracting from the body text.

# data[].attributes.body
Sketching out possibilites.

I definetly prefer my second draft and want to improve on that one rather than continuing the 2nd layout.

My goal is to refine it from here on.

# data[].attributes.body
Would a style like this work for my layout?

# data[].attributes.body
Good use of white space (much less text than I must use though)

# data[].attributes.body
Some more research. I enjoy the quote on the right hand side of the page here.

# data[].attributes.body
2nd possible layout. Not sure how I feel about it, I think it is lacking something but not sure what. Must research more

# data[].attributes.body
Importing Design into InDesign

# data[].attributes.body
This design makes more sense to me. I wanted it to resemble milileter markings on a glass, etc. While still referencing a coffee maker.

# data[].attributes.body
Don't really enjoy where this is going, feels too cluttered to me

# data[].attributes.body
Working out a design for the coffee consumption statistics.

Coffee smoke doesn't work so well in my opinion, I prefer the more line related ones.

# data[].attributes.body
This image shows how I could fit text into the coloured side of the page.

# data[].attributes.body
Another draft possibility.

I wanted to try one page with just heading and description, and keep one page strictly for the text.

Maybe experiment further with how I could make the Coffee Consumption list more interesting?

# data[].attributes.body
First Idea draft. I got a bit conceptual with this one, but I had fun making it.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided for now that the text across the two page spread did not work aesthetically for me.

# data[].attributes.body
3 final direction/layout ideas for my spread.

# data[].attributes.body
12px vs 11px

# data[].attributes.body
11px vs 10px

# data[].attributes.body
10px VS 9pt

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of white space, solution possibility

# data[].attributes.body
Another solution idea, after looking at my inspirations

# data[].attributes.body
I'd like to do something like this with the list of coffee use per annum

Consider trying to fit all text on right side of page and keep title alone

# data[].attributes.body
Really nice use of white space.

# data[].attributes.body

A more final render of my grid system for the spread.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I printed out my two favourite fonts, both body and text, to be able to compare them to eachother. Another important part of this excersize is seeing the way the fonts look on printed paper. The ink bottle is for scale.

Another text heavy layout.

Love the way quotes are scattered around the page. Breaks it up visually. Would like to achieve something similar.

# data[].attributes.body
Text - heavy layout, good reference. National Geo.

# data[].attributes.body
National Geographic. Interesting grid here

# data[].attributes.body
One of the magazines I am looking at as reference, Wild Ireland. This spread is text-heavy but effective.

# data[].attributes.body
Colour palette

# data[].attributes.body
Obviously the image displayed in this spread is too large for the magazine I would be able to create. Yet I feel like this captures well the style I want to strive for. I want to get across

- warm feeling
- natural style

Since I cannot use photos, I want to capture the natural style with use of headings, colour and body text placement.

# data[].attributes.body
Interesting use of image and font

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoy how this spread captures a natural feel.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how big the title is here, and the font used. It's very clean column wise and looks easy to read.

Warm, comforting, welcoming, simple

In this image you can see clearly the entirety of the layout. At first glance I enjoy how the page is laid out. It is clearly image heavy with 6 seperate images, which is arguably even a few too many, but they make the page eye catching.

They use large quotation marks and big, bold font to highlight quotes from the text. This helps to separate the paragraphs from eachother, although in my opinion it is best used on the right hand side of the page. Whereas on the left it tends to make the text a little messy looking, espeically as it is not justified.

I was very impressed with how clearly the ink was printed. It is sharp, the pictures are clear and full of colour and detail.

There is a clear beginning and end to the article. The thinner parts of the paragraphs can be a little awkward to read and maybe lose your place on the page- but the rest of the writing flows nicely.

The paper is very soft, silky and nice to hold and flick through. If I were to design my own magazine, I would like something similar.

All in all, I enjoy the layout in general while I do feel it is a little too cluttered here and there. The quality of the colours, ink and paper is great.

# data[].attributes.body
From what I can see, the font used is Times New Roman. I compared the serifs and they generally look quite identical.

The font size used on the magazine seems to me to be 12.

# data[].attributes.body
Here shown is the final underlying grid system.

Originally I thought there was half the amount of columns that there actually are, but after testing possible column arrangements the only one that made sense for the page was 26mm wide and 12 columns (5mm gutters). I tested this on the other magazine pages, and they also lined up to this grid.

Page Height - 270mm
Page Length - 400mm

No of Columns Left to Right - 12
No of Columns Top to Bottom - 8

Column width - 26mm
Column height - 26mm

Gutter width - 5mm

Margin width (all sides) - 15mm

Average word count per line - 6.5555555555556
Number found from counting 2 paragraphs.

Number of Paragraphs - 15
