For class this week, we had to create 20 two-page spreads, which includes the first 10 spreads we already created for last week plus 10 more. Just like the previous spreads I created these using Adobe Indesign and the mouse to create page layouts along with placing various boxes, text, and images on these pages to make content for the magazine. Most of the more recent pages have my art that I created in my Digital Imaging class on them, which I primarily used the programs of Photoshop and Painter.
Composition
For the remaining pages I chose the color of the background based on the color of the images I put on that page to give it a nice flow or feeling. The color of the text I used on each page was based on the color I chose for the background, to make sure the text is readable. Each page has its own unique layout and setup depending on the pictures and text that go along with each set of images. Each page has a theme to make sure the page flows well and the reader doesn't get lost of confused. I arranged each page the way I did for readability and style. The things I want the viewer to see are as follows in order, the title of each spread, the images on each page, and finally the text or body copy to let the reader understand how I drew or created these objects. I also added a few drop quotes through out the pages to catch the reader's eye and bring them into the article.
Concept
The concept of these pages is the same as the first spreads. They are simple because what I just really want to communicate to the reader are the steps that go into creating these types of images along with the craft, concept, and composition of these images I created. I also described the reason i created each piece of art the way I did.
