Reveal 2 OUGD301
Board: The Concept 1 / 3
This project was a follow up from the previous year; the aim was to create the second in the range that would include more designs and more poster outcomes. To make sure that the magazine linked in with the previous edition I re-used the logo and then added the same information from the bottom of the previous magazine. The Posters The posters are placed throughout the magazine so that you can select them and then the customer can purchase them if they wish to. Each poster will have a price, about section and also a number so it’s easy to reference. Most of the posters would be screen-printed, this allows them to be worth more and then they have a stronger quality of print, which creates a much nicer, overall, feel to the design. The Designers Along side the posters there will be the designers work which publicizes their work and tells you a little about them, this is the over arching point of the magazine as it is to Reveal the upcoming and amazing designers. Their will be a range of varied styles with the designers so this could include having some type and layout, then spread the talents across to product packaging.

Board: Range of Posters 2 / 3
As the posters were a crucial section of the magazine, I had to create a range so that I had the option to select the most effective, overall I managed to create a varied amount which all had strengths and weaknesses in there own way. The Selected Few To make sure that I managed to get the ones which the public and target audience wanted I did some surveys and showed a range of students my designs to see which were most effective, I then used the ones which were picked and placed these in my layout.
REMEMBER THE COMPLIMENTS YOU RECIEVE. IGNORE THE INSULTS.
The quality when screen-printed make them work so much more effectively than just vector artwork on a website. Potentially if this project was to go further or I had more time I would swap the artwork out and show images of the actual printed designs as I feel this makes them more desirable to purchase.

Board: Special Features 3 / 3
Through the magazine there would be some special print finishes which would make the magazine more desirable for the buyers. Contents Page Here I created a lay over using tracing paper, this was so that underneath could be a clean layout with each designer named there, this would also include briefly about what they specialise in. Then to find out the correct page for their work there is a layover which when opened over tells you the page numbers for each of the graphic designers in the magazine. Creative Posters Selected pages through the magazine are designed to advertise the posters which I would design and produce, to make these feel more exciting for the viewer, the pages would be French folded with a perforation down the end so that to view the posters you have to tear the pages to ‘reveal’ the designs inside. This concept would only be used on the poster pages thus helping to make these a talking point of the magazine. Front Cover The front cover would be the first point of contact with the potential buyer of this magazine, to make sure it was visually stimulating the design had to be colorful and engaging. To achieve this I designed a layout simply by using lines, which created an illusion, then a gradient behind, the feedback I received for this was very positive. The front cover also is cut shorter so that when the magazine is closed you get some small snippets of information down the right side of the layout.
