Design Portfolio
Based on the style of the layouts used in the magazine, i sketched out some ideas for possible layouts that would mirror the page layout design in the magazine. This is important to ensure that my design layouts does not compromise the overall style and flows with the other pages in the magazine.
I measured out the margins and gutter sizes and looked at the different articles covered.
When i started sketching some ideas for Katie Price logo, i felt it was important to include her name in the logo and not just use an image due to how her current brands are and that it is representing her identity.
Signifying practices are items that mark out difference, or tell the world “I use this to symbolise such and such”
Signifying practices are used to convey messages about ideology (the beliefs and assumptions of self and others).
The flapper stereotype is one of short bobbed or shingled hair, straight loose knee-length dresses with a dropped waistline, silk or rayon stockings with garters, heavy makeup, long beaded necklaces, and smoking. Flappers are also associated with Jazz and 1920’s dances like the Charleston.
I have chosen three items that act as a signifying practice within my youth subculture – Flappers
Jazz -The dancing Flapper and attire
The Headband – Feathers, pearls and precious jewels
The short feathered and fringed dresses
Being World post day, we were each given a postcard to draw an image from the day trip to sent from London to Tonbridge WKCollege. I drew mine of the Gail Armstrong SOGO print. I loved the way it was displayed with the birds from the print coming off the frame and onto the wall.
