Well.. lets just say its been awhile, and i'm deeply sorry, I kept meaning to update it with new work, inspirational pieces and daily thoughts.. but university got the better of me, but as it is now second year and i'm obviously a much more mature student, I shall commit to updating this blog frequently.
Merry Christmas!

Magazine Layout - Jan Tschichold
The second piece is complete!! I had to get my Tschichold time on and design a magazine layout using modernist principles (hierarchy, path for the eye and strong use of negative space), Tschichold is one of the fathers of modernism, writing the first typography 'how to book'. If the truth is told I spent a lot more time developing the Brody layout, I felt it was best to have one really good piece than two mediocre pieces. The design is based on one of his posters for an exhibition, I liked the simplicity and elegance, inspiring me to appropriate the style. All in all, I particularly enjoyed this project and feel that magazine design is possibly the area of graphic design I would wish to go into.

To start with I was struggling with come up with an aesthetically pleasing design because I had to work in the style of someone else, After looking through 'The Graphic Language of Neville Brody' I found some inspiration and end up with the piece of work above. I am currently still working on the Modernist layout, when its complete I will upload.
