Magazine Design

Taner Ceylan

1. How does the design that you created demonstrate your knowledge of Magazine Design and the parts of a magazine cover and interior? My design demonstrates my knowledge of a true magazine design by knowing all the different parts and using them cohesively to create one uniform look.

2. In what ways does your magazine connect to the corporate identity of the magazine? What are some design queues that you used from the existing magazine? My design connects to the Sports Illustrated design by using a large picture and small text that does not use even lines in the columns.

3. How did completing the brainstorming packet and sketches affect your design process?

After finishing the packet, the design process became much easier and quicker due to having most of my requirements finished.

4. How did you like working with a partner? How do you think working with a partner makes the design process easier and more difficult?

Working with a partner feels great to have a second opinion and a lot of decisions being made quicker. One difficult thing could be not being on the same page for a certain issue.

5. Looking at your partner’s design, if you were to design your partner’s portion by yourself how would it look different? What would you have changed?

I love the overall design, if I had to make it a little different I might have changed a few fonts.

6. Describe the ideal partner (co-worker / co –designer)?

The ideal partner is hard working, creative and always on the same page as me.
