CONTEMPORARY DESIGN ISSUES

Through Magazine Layout

_____

My Task was redesigning a 1,500+ word, found article through 5 compositional spreads for a magazine layout. I had to look closely into the global community of design and locate an article which is discussing an issue, problem or contemporary topic within the industry. So I found a great article on branding, so I branded the branding article. I created a logo based on how the article effected me. All design and photos are that which I created.

CONTEMPORARY DESIGN ISSUES

Have you come across any issues in the world of visual communication thus far? Has any-thing bothered you about the graphic design field—client relationships, the commoditization of design, ethics in the field, accessibility to the software, the use of inspiration, the monotonous visual redundancy in design, a lack of consideration for design history in contemporary design, technologies affect on design, the decline in focus on process, etc? For this problem you need to locate an article outlining and discussing a design issue that you feel is worth exploring and designing into a 5 editorial spread layout for a magazine. In addition, you will be responsible for sourcing or creating your imagery for the article.
