This is the final outcome of the impact spread. I believe it definitely gives a impactful feeling to the viewer. Overall I am happy with the outcome of the spread, and have enjoyed the development of the spread. I used Armin Hofmann for inspiration for this final outcome using big Titles and bold fonts, also sticking to minimal colours such as black and white but felt I had to add a bit of colour to put my own twist on it.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like Armin Hofmann's work and how he using bold type for the impact spread to give an impactful feeling. The way he only uses two colours and a gradient of black and white adds to the boldness of the impact spread.

I really like the way the way Alexey Brodovitch has played around with the columns of text in a way to represent the photographs of the women to the left, how he has copied the body shapes and implemented it into the body of text is very playful.

I did a letterpress induction the other day and thought this would be a really good idea to use in my project. I might end up using letterpress in my project if I think it fits it.

I have chosen to look at the choice of colour Wes Anderson uses in his film because they always stand out very well. I feel the colour has a very big part to play in Wes Andersons films and find it very interesting why he uses very rich and pastel colours. This something I will definitely be using in my final outcomes

I created this spread on in design. I used the thumbnail down below for reference. I have mixed feelings with the outcome of this spread. All though there a a few areas I need to work on, for example the number pages are to big and I also don't like the placement of the text. I feel as if there is quite a lot of dead space that might need filling. I also used inspiration from the toilet paper magazines and the colours they use which are very neutral and pastel like.

I created this using InDesign. I used the thumbnail down below for inspiration/template for my design. I am very happy with outcome of this design and the thumbail template helped me alot with the overall idea for the design. I like the choice of colour I have used in the type. The only thing I forgot to do was add some page numbers.

This is one of the working progress final outcomes. I still need to change the left image and bottom right image as I don't think it fits the overall look.

# data[].attributes.body
So I have changed colour of text on the right and think I am going to keep the white text on the right.

# data[].attributes.body
I have changed the typeface to futura as it fits the page more and Wes's favourite type is futura as one of the article says.

# data[].attributes.body
This is going to be one of my final outcomes for the information spread. I have changed both images that look way better than the last two. I have also moved around some of the text to fit the page better.

These are some photos I took of magazines I found for inspiration.

This is the start of my impact spread. I got the inspiration for the image layouts from one of the thumbnails I made.

# data[].attributes.body
I added the title and changed the background colour to a pastel colour to match Wes's theme.

# data[].attributes.body
I have changed the colour of the images by gray scaling the images in photoshop, then using the colour pallet in InDesign. I then changed the colour of the page to match the same colour scheme. I also added the subheading under the title.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to change the bottom image as I thought it looked better and to add a bit of difference to the spread, all though I really liked the other image, not sure if this was a good idea. I also added the intro text and was messing around with the colour and font of the text which I think I will change.

# data[].attributes.body
So I decided to grayscale both images now which I think looks overall better I like how Armin Hofmann only uses two colours and gradients in his magazines.

# data[].attributes.body
I have now moved the title and sub title to the middle of the spread which I really like. I also moved the intro text to the bottom right while using the guided grids to make give it a cleaner look.

A love letter to journalists set in an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional 20th-century French city that brings to life a collection of stories published in The French Dispatch.
A film by Wes Anderson which shows a series of articles throughout the film. Personally I loved the film. Such a coincidence a film comes out about a magazine while doing a project on magazine about Wes Anderson.

A magazine made for Film Makers covering independent films. Founded by Karol Martesko Fenster, Scott Macaulay and Holly Willis. I feel like the magazine is very industry standard and gets the information out right and also looks good but isn't very artistic.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the final outcome for the information spread. I think it does everything a information spread needs to do, I am very happy with it. I only used black text and a white background to give a clean look, taken inspiration from Armin Hofmann again and also the I-D magazines using big bold text, and trying to keep the same layout on both pages.

# data[].attributes.body
I started out by laying out the title of the article of text in the desired place I wanted, using thumbnail final spread for reference.

# data[].attributes.body
I added a image at the bottom and a quote from the text we had been given. using the grids I lined it up to give it a clean look.

# data[].attributes.body
I have now changed the font and placement for the first article (HES ALL ABOUT DETAIL). I have now started on the second page for the other article.

# data[].attributes.body
I added the second body of text for the article (HES NEVER MADE A SEQUEL) I changed the font to futura and moved the placement of the title and text using the grids yet again. At this point I am still using my thumbnail for reference.
The next screen shot is on the final outcome section.

I really like the I-D magazine and the designs they have. I think most of there designs are very minimal and subtle but look amazing. I like how they keep the same layout on all of there magazine front pages, so you can always tell if its a I-D magazine.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never seen the toilet paper magazines before until I started researching magazines for this project. I really like how they give off a 50's collage vibe to the magazines, and the colours they use which is also very Wes Anderson like this is something I could use in my project.

# data[].attributes.body
I had a few inspirations for the Wes Anderson project one of my favourite inspirations was Armin Hofmann. I really liked Hofmann's work and how he used big bold type to show impactful spreads in his designs. I used him for quite a lot of inspiration especially the impact spreads by using bold typefaces. Another inspiration for the Wes Anderson project was the colours Wes uses in his films which are quite neutral pastel colours which influenced development through my project. I also took inspiration from the I-D magazines from how they keep the magazine clean and organized which I used in both impact and information spreads.

I tried a few different techniques throughout the project. I used thumbnails I created for reference for when creating my final designs. I screenshotted different approaches and ways of dealing with designs until I got it the correct look I wanted, such as I was using to much colour in some spreads which didn't look quite right until I came across the I-D magazines and understood I could give a clean organised look to my spreads. I also looked at letterpress as an option for the project but ran out of time therefore I could not use the facilities.

I am very happy with the overall outcome of my final designs. I think they are very well coordinated with each other and quite identical. At first I thought the final outcomes were going to be rubbish, everything I tried just didn't look quite right such as the layouts of the type until I did some more research and got some inspiration and started experimenting more with the given images.

I have learned a lot from this project. Such as how to use InDesign as I have never touched it before this project. While using InDesign I learnt how to use the overall software, such as setting up a page and grids for reference. Also how to correctly design layouts in magazines and how to balance text and image together. I thoroughly enjoyed this project and looking forward to the next one.

During the unit I also was engaging with activities outside of university. Such as going to the cinema to watch the Wes Anderson film on the French dispatch which was directed towards our project, this was helpful as I got a greater understanding on Wes Anderson and how much detail he uses in his films such as colour. I also participated in a letterpress induction which was very helpful and enjoyable. During the project I went out and found loads of magazines and bought some for inspiration which I don't do often because I mostly look on the internet for inspiration which was very refreshing.
