Week 12 l McGIll

Story Choice:

I decided to use Husid’s story because after doing some searching for articles about either the beach or scuba diving, I found his which combined the two. I love both the beach and scuba diving so when I had the opportunity to use the two as a topic for my magazine, I couldn’t refuse.

Typeface Choice:

I thought of the name “Explore” for my magazine before I designed anything else. When I was searching through the fonts in the Adobe library, I came across Baker Signit and loved the shape of the cross in the “X”

As for the rest of the text on the cover - I knew I knew I wanted to use all caps for my main head.

I chose Janson for the body text because I wanted something simple and readable.

Color:

The only color I used for the text was on the first page of the magazine. I chose yellow to mimic the yellow edges of the palms.

• The yellow on the front cover is C=0 M=23 Y=100 K.

• The Blue on the front cover mimicked the sky, and was C=100 M=90 Y=100 K=0

• Bottom bar on p 6-7 C=97 M=88 Y=31 K=20
