Defining the design

Days after we gathered to reconsider the theme of the magazine, my group met a second time, but this time to start discussing things more related to the layout and design of the publications.

Obviously our three magazines share the same title, but have different content. The layout has to share certain similarities. This similarities are going to be in the presentation and arrangement of the content, font and colors. Here is a sample of cover.

The cover is going to have the title “Cities” centered at the top. “Cities” is going to be written in cursive font, and the “i” is going to be a magnifying glass. The magnifying glass represents the detailed content we are presenting on every city and sector. Below the title, the name of the city edition is presented.

The layout is might vary a little, but mainly this is the rough draft we are going to be using as a guide when building our magazines. The two page spread is going to contain, in one page, the “things to do” article which informs the viewer on activities that are going on in the area around the release time. On the right page, three small horizontal articles are going to be displayed. First one displays an acclaimed restaurant of the zone, second one the most frequented area/ activity of the zone, and third is going to include and individual activity/ area fitted to the zone. For example: Anabela is doing Miami Beach, as a choice for her individual article she might choose the beach, as it is something that’s unique of her zone.
