Brief 2 | MiniProject / Self-Reflective-Article

In between our Brief 2 we had as a task to create a self reflective double spread article, where we
- advertise ourself as a designer
- with personal details
- why we chose this MA course
- skills
- aims
- identify public
- use of image/text, typeset, typeface
- AND an usp: unique selling point

I researched different magazines like ID, eye, source, mag-art:


My intention was to be rebellious and risky with the general layout design about my spread and cross borders. I tried to break rules (like a few articels I saw in different mags) and used certain elements of typography. I purposely didnt use the 2 or 3 column horizontal style and shifted these around. I then cut the chosen pictures very sharp to emphasize the general lines and be consistent with the general layout.

Final doublespread:
Presentation Feedback:
- use of more colours (e.g. colour of branding)
- attention to detail with margins and spacing
- choice of pictures
- signature needed?
- contact details?
