Final Photography Portfolio Website Submission

Photography Portfolio Website

I decided to make a website primarily based on my photography.  I am still trying to decide what colors to go with and am planning on tweaking my concept more. Here are some sample drawings I have made.

Final Magazine Cover and Double-Page Spread Design

Here is my final design for the Digital Arts Magazine design. I chose to call my cover the "Art of Typography" due to the dynamic interconnection between type and design. I wanted to express my design with an eclectic and symmetrical style that defines the Art Deco style. Art Deco theaters became popular during the 1930's (wikipedia). I also wanted to incorporate the high use spot lights highly used during that time period.  The double-page spread also has a design based on type.   I felt the need to create a relationship between the Art Deco cover and the spread in order to maintain the balance needed for design.  The article included in the spread explains the design process for the photograph provided on the spread.

Magazine Cover and Spread for Digital Arts

I really enjoyed brainstorming about different design concepts for this Magazine Cover and Spread Project.  I decided to focus on the art of typography because I feel typography is a essential way to communicate any concept.  With my magazine spread I plan to focus on photography portraits and text effects intertwined into one. I decided that I wanted to go with Design #4 to emphasis typography and its effects on design. Below the magazine I included the double-page spread sample in hopes of keeping with Typography, Art Deco theme.
