Week 14

Some of the things that I had to change were all basically in the composition part of things. For instants I had to swap high hoop and vanished because the article title for the following article looked to much like the vanished illustration. Also I flipped high hoop and it gives it a different view point. I originally had 25 pages and we needed to have a multiple of 4, for the number of pages. So I Zach's article one page, since his was the longest. I the the text of equally throughout the pages and the slaptoure page got two illustrations.

Then the reds weren't matching in my Just Hangin atricle so I had to change that. I also straighten up all text so the lines are all the same length. For my cover I had to change it I had to put the title on the right side of the page, since thats were it will be opened. Also I made it page bleed that has color so there wont be white trim around the pages. I didn't have much to fix because I've been working a tweaking this magazine for the last two and a half weeks.

Week 13











first I fixed up my book, I had 25 pages so I had to reduce it to 24 so I did that, next I had to make a cover.

Concept: I choose that title electrifying, because I believe Zach's and Erica's art is just that, it exciting. Also me not being to artistic I feel I've been electrifying on my art work this semester. the prefect illustration for that would be the thunder one.

Craft: I placed my illustration on the cover. but I left room on the side to put my title. Then I went into illustration and took out the rim and the shoes and just left the back ground to show the lighting and I put that on the back cover.

Composition: I put the title on the side because you see this style throughout the book. I put only the lightening on the back to bring out the title even more.

Week 12




















Craft: This week I made two articles using Zach's and Erica's art. Also I made an index on page one that has the title of all the articles and what page they can be found on. Also I small peek of the art of each article. In Zach's article I put all the illustration on the page after the title and throughout the article I picked my favorites and but them on different pages. In Erica's article I put one illustration on each page.

Composition: I put an illustration of each article in the Index just to show the reader a sneak peek of what's ahead. With Erica's article on each page there is one illustration, because with her art I feel it needs to be a good size to really see it. In Zach's article I put all twenty of his illustrations on the page following the title. I did this so you can see how many deferent illustration can be made with his style. Then on the next pages I made my favorite ones bigger and I added text where I thought would fit well.

Concept: To make and magazine that can be easily navigated through. But also that is fun to look at. I'm really trying to make it about the art rather than the text.

Week 11













Craft: For the cover page I took the pair of chucks and put them below the title, to make it look as if they were hanging from the letters. I placed each illustration in the pages. I placed each one in it's own page. Then I placed the text where I thought it looked best.

Composition: I put the shoes by the letters to make it look like their hanging. After the title page I put the photo that I took and the original picture to compare them. Then I put my favorite spin off of the original with a purple o match the illustration. With the next two the made them as big as the page and I put the text on the illustration, because there was negative space to put the text on top of it. With each illustration I put the title of my work.

Craft: This is an abandoned rim where no one plays on anymore, the only purpose it serves is for the shoes to hang.

New special edition
















This is a painting by Gino Severini. When I first looked at the painting I thought about partying and going out having fun, after reading the Title Festival Montmartre, I thought wow he really did a good job with the colors and the busyness of the painting, to make you feel like it's a party or festival. The reason I like this painting is because who doesn't like to have fun with friends, like at a party or festival.

Craft: He used oil paints on a canvas.

Composition: He made the background black, so your eye automatically focus on the commotion in the center. He uses bright colors and dark colors, but the bright color over power the painting. It's hard to make out what exactly it is, but it gives you a fun and exciting feel, like a festival would.

Concept: It's supposed to give you the feel of the night life, people walking around, the busyness, having a good time.

old special edition















This painting was mad by Miendert Hobbema.I enjoy this painting very much, I like it because, living in the city your whole life can get a little hectic. Don't get me wrong I love the city, but sometimes it's nice to get away. This painting does exactly that. My friend has a cottage in Wisconsin right on the water, which we go to a lot during the summer. This painting reminded me of that. The painting expresses how nature is relaxing.

Craft: Since I'm not to familiar with painting I'm not to sure how he exactly did it. I can for sure say he used oil paints on a canvas. Trying to record this landscape on the canvas.

Composition: Well the watermill isn't the biggest object in the painting, but it's what catches your eye first, because the the red that is applied to the roof. Next you see this beautiful, but dramatic tree, which is the biggest object of the painting. On the bottom half of the painting is the water that runs the mill.

Concept: This mill was one of his favorite subject during the 1660's. Since he liked this area so much I think it's because the landscape is so gorgeous, but then also you see this man made building in the middle of the landscape.
