Creative Report as zine/magazine

The cover has been designed to put the emphasis on the big names of the interviews. As the publication looks mainly on typography and print as its main themes, the cover design would need to be really considered and appropriate this context. The large decorative typography reflects the content. 

The placement of sir names and first names on the back and front creates a consistency between the two, and highlights 'big names' as the contents artistic focus. The colours have been chosen for their high impact yet interesting subtlety between the red and pink. The white asterisk gives the cover some personality and this is continued at the end of each of the interviews featured.
The subheading gives an extra context the publication concisely but the white colouring ensures clarity. A subtle typographic feature that is the FI ligature on Dafi Kühne. This is possibly somebody with an interest in type, would spot and hopefully add an extra level of intrigue. 

The communication of the contents page needed to to be clear but reflect the quality of the interviews featured, overall the hierarchy of typefaces, and spread of content is something a different and gives more of an introduction into the information. The large numbers aim to give the reader maximum clarity on the layout of the publication. 

The use of both san serif and serif typography aims to display in contemporary and more classical styles. This combination is typical of many editorial designs.

The yellow and brown type has been informed by Apartamento's design styling, changing just the colours of the background and typography used puts the emphasis on the content quality rather than distracting from it. 

Using a medium italic typeface on each of the questions keeps the information consistent and is clear throughout the publication. The bright colours make sure the section stands out and is eye-catching to the reader.  

The Hamish Muir section needed to be consistent in style with the rest of the publication but also be different and reflect the interviews content. The 8vo style is famously black and white this has informed the colour scheme. The use of the NSW01 typeface designed by Matt Willey is something a different and creates an extra sense of intrigue communicating the high profile name of the designer. The black, white and grey type creates an interesting hierarchy that make the information easy to read. Overall the communication really reflects the quality of the content and is reflective of the 8vo style. 

Much like the rest of the publication the Dafi Kühne section has been designed to be as clear and easy to read as possible. The black and white type and background is different to the rest of the publication, the inclusion of some of Dafi's posters break up the text and give something more to look at. Overall the communication is appropriate to the text-heavy content.

As the Mylo Kaye's content looks at slightly different themes to the rest of the publication, this needed to be reflected in the design the grey and blue colours reflect more the 'screen orientated information displayed.
 Again using a Matt Willey designed typeface puts the content at the centre of the design. It was important to make sure the background was different so it was totally clear this was a new interview. The asterisk marks the end of the interview, this has been continues throughout the design. 

  
As the Anthony Burrill interview is all about Wit in graphic design the design could be more playful and use some brighter colours, the black and white creates real contrast and is something again a little different. 

The Nick Loaring section is not yet complete as the interview has not been fully finalised but the design is consistent to the rest of the publication, using film photography from the studio gives the interview extra character and is really great to be able to use. This will not be too far off the final designs when complete. Consistency in the content is again key throughout. 

The final section is again unfinished, we all agreed that in the back we should feature a part on each of the contributors aka the group. This could be an opportunity to show our own work or give our contact information. As well as this there is the initial plan of a foreword. Written by me this is a mini introduction to the context of the book, this will need to be improved on and have its own space in the publication. 

This shows the front and back of the cover, highlighting the way it would be communicated, overall this cover reflects the fairly text heavy publication and the quality of the interviews inside.
