Ah hah, just joking about the help.
Had plentiful of constructive feedback from Mr Seow on Thursday during our design consult. I might have felt upset about his comments but it's because it hurts when your hard work doesn't seem to be approved by someone who is from a design background.
But nevertheless, I took in the comments like a man and tried working around what with have. Honestly, the group doesn't have time to change the layout (or rather I don't have the time because of FYP).
The feedback I've received from Mr Seow was:
- monotonous layout
- clean
- no oomph (really just means the layout is too repetitive)
- should include a livery (sp? the category part to inform readers on what is this article about)
Would like to also reflect that my journey on designing a magazine was very fulfilling. As mentioned previously, I was very inspired by my seniors from writing lab when I saw them designing a magazine. With very little knowledge on designing, they have piqued my interest. I'd like to also thank my group for giving me the opportunity to design because it really is so satisfying to see my end results and like, WOAH it made me feel so happy.
I guess one analogy could be: trying to lose to your ideal weight and then enjoying a piece of cake. HAHA, but anyway despite the procrastinations and the feedback I've received (be it good or bad) I would say it really did fuel me to produce a better design fitting of the concept.
(And with that I'd like to point out that the concept of the magazine is you're entitled to feel atas. Look good, feel good!)
I shall now show the current layout because I have no idea where are the previous ones. Maybe I forgot to save them. Still in the midst of polishing (although the urge to procrastinate is very, very high)
Please excuse the dummy pictures, Shahren (photographer hasn't sent in the pictures) and Gerard (editor) is still in the midst of second cutting!
But I do hope you like how the layout is, might be more interesting. Will upload the soft copy online if possible :-)
love always,
Phoebe
