CONTRAST OF TEMPERATURE PANTONE EXPERIMENTS

The contrast is formed by the juxtaposition of 

hues considered 'warm' or 'cool.'

SIMULTANIOUS CONTRAST PANTONE EXPERIMENTS

The contrast is formed when the boundaries between colors 

perceptually vibrate. Some interesting illusions are 

accomplished with this contrast.

Type & Grid Revisited

I came across gap year magazine in the library. I scanned in the article and drew a grid on top digitally. I didn't think the layout was particularly interesting so I created many thumbnails of alternate layouts as you can see below. I printed out template grids to work on top of.


Type Measuring

Creating the article Digitally

 Using my thumbnails and grid I tried to recreate the article. I started with this 

layout but decided realistically there would not be enough room to fit in the article

so I decided to try a different method.

 Using Photoshop I edited the photos into the positions

I wanted.

 I then added the type. I was kind of going for a American 

flag reference with the stripes of text.

I thought the page was looking pretty boring so I added a

black background to the title and switched the type to white.

 Using my grid I added in the articles text.

 I experimented with colour to give it a more American feel

but it just looks tacky.

There was far too much type in the Summary paragraph so I 

decided to shorten it.

 Here is my finished Magazine spread.

Overall I am quite happy with the outcome. I think the body text
is too big however. When I printed the page out it didn't look quite right
I think it needs to be around 8 or 10 pt ideally. This has been a beneficial learning

process. I will apply this grid format to my work from now on

as it makes it very clear and easy to recreate the designs digitally.
