Graphic Design II: Module 3, Part 1 - Observations

Creative Brief

* First page grabs the attention and most dynamic, makes you want to read more
* Second page makes you want to turn the page to the next
* First and second pages work together for a unified composition
* Third page not as dynamic as the first two
* Fourth page, least dynamic but provides a good ending of the article
* Third and fourth page work together for a unified composition
* Horizontal organization for the printed page, images and text are organized off of the horizontal center of the page
* Photos that bleed off page appear to be jumping off and provides a dynamic graphic image, appears larger then if surrounded by white space, looks modern and trendy
* Via Magazine – least dynamic (least white space), follows grid the most, less graphic design then other two, most static
* Cycle World Magazine – more dynamic (first and second pages bleed off page), nice first page,
* Surfer Magazine – most dynamic (most white space), most integration of graphics and text, follows grid the least, good alignment for "focal points" of content of spot illustrations and photographs
