Project 2 - Brewed Magazine - Feedback Needed
Brewed Magazine - magazine about craft beers to be published monthly and each season a new region would be the focus, this is the New England Edition with a feature about a local brewery in Orange, MA. I have not re-worked it at all, would love some feedback on what you think could be improved.
It looks professional and well made. I would suggest organizing the numbers on the index page so they went in order of where they appear and for the spread for the cup that is overlapping with the page you could try having the bottom of it overlap with the page as well. Other than that it looks well organized and has a good choice in color selection.
ReplyDeleteI think you've already heard this before, but the edges on the spread for the glass of beer as well as the straight line that borders the white area should have a more sharper and cleaner masking so that it looks crisp. Overall magazine is amazing and professional.
ReplyDeleteThis magazine came out extremely well and I think you made excellent design choices throughout it. One thing, on the cover, I wonder if there is a way to adjust it so your friend's head overlaps the title just a little bit more. As it is, it's so close, and I think just like a quarter to half an inch more would really give it a three-dimensional look. I'm also not a huge fan of the short gradients that blend the images on the contents page. Maybe there's another solution for them? Perhaps a border or something?
ReplyDeleteIt's very impressive and I would think it was a real magazine! The colors work well together and the only problem I have is that the content page numbers don't seem to be in order.
ReplyDeleteI think this a professional looking magazine, as other people have mentioned the cut out of the glass was a good idea, but it needs to be a cleaner cut, the blur around it doesn't help that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything above - and encourage you to rethink the Contents page design. Sharp and crisp... that would be a way to describe the taste of beer, yes? So that might be another reason to move away from the gradient blends blurring the photo edges. Consider a redesign that pulls this page more clearly into the cover and article approach you have established.
ReplyDeleteThis looks extremely professionally done, the only thing I can think of would be making the footer on the contents pages slightly smaller so it doesn't compete as much with the main content of the pages.
