After having a critique, it came up numerous times that it was actually hard to tell straight a way the my imagery was coffee. This was down to the fact that I had been using instant coffee. So I have decided to recreate my images using coffee beans.

Here are the final designs for my magazine’s spreads.
I think they all are unique, but obviously cause of the coffee, they keep a consistent theme. This is what i wanted to achieve. I feel the imagery is really strong, but the text also works very well. I have used a 3 column system which even though is simple, is still very effective and lets my design flow and allows it to be easy to read. I am very pleased with how i have used space. I feel all of my spreads have a good balance and nothing is overpowering. This was key to having a good design. I now am going to get my design printed professionally, am really excited for the final outcome.
Here Is my front cover for my magazine supplement.
I think it uses space really well, and is also a very stylish image. The font ( Geosans Light) works with my design well, and suits the imagery.
the BÖIKZMÖIND DVD and Photo book package
The package consists of a digitally numbered 95-page 22cm photo book featuring behind-the-scenes photographs, notes & scans, cataloguing the creation of the film. The multi-region DVD features the full documentary plus a behind-the-scenes featurette, photo gallery and bloopers plus some other extras! The whole thing is bound together by a cord-embossed screen printed wrap cover, which is magnetically sealed!
Typography & Design can really be stunning, when printed with quality ink using quality materials.
I have recreated my imagery using coffee beans, instead of instant coffee.
I think this looks a lot more classy, and will make my design look a better quality.
I tried to keep the images as close to the previous ones as possible, so i wouldn’t have to alter my layouts much. I also expanded n the hebrew letters, so it made my concept more apparent and related back to the original quote.

In my opinion, simple is always more effective and all ways more eye catching. This something that I am going to try and achieve with my design.
Here are my layouts for my magazine supplement.
I am very pleased with how they are progressing. I think I am using space well, and all of my spreads looks balanced. The imagery is strong and really jumps out at you, and this is really the selling point of my design. Saying that all of the text fits in well, It looks organised and is easy to read. I now have to make a few tweaks in places, but my design is really starting to come together now.
ISTD - It happened on this day
The newspaper questions our relationship with world news, and juxtaposes my 5th Birthday with Operation storm, Croatian military attack on Serbian Krajina. 2 very different typographic approaches help to highlight the massive chasm between the subjects, with the idea to create a tension on the page to illustrate how these events happened at the same time yet completely ignorant of one another.
Here are a few designs I have come up with for my front cover.
I have chosen to go with the first image, because i think its the most striking, it makes good use of space, and works well with the text.
I have created my imagery for this current project, with the help of some instant coffee.
They are bright, interesting and unique. They will also give a consistent theme to my magazine supplement.
I know have to incorporate these with my body of text to create some layouts.
I have decided the concept of my magazine supplement , is to be based around a quote from the type radio interview.
“Is there anything you can only do with Hebrew fonts ??”
“You can make coffee with Hebrew fonts”
This immediatly gave me the idea to base my design around coffee.
by having all my imagery created by it.
For example having fonts made from it, and also creating images that relate to the interview.
Pigeons - Sky Rat or Useful Bird?
According to signs displayed in various cities around the UK, the fine for feeding pigeons is £2500. After researching into this, I learned that this fine is more than for possesion of crack cocaine or assaulting a police officer. This prompted me to start a diary, recording observations of peoples attitudes towards pigeons. The colour of the book is in red due to the starting point of of my interest being a red ‘DO NOT FEED’ sign. I wanted to remain unbias and neutral throughout my observations so the typeface used was Helvetica. The spine has remined exposed due to the nature of the book.
Sometimes the most bizarre subjects matters, can be brilliant. This design is simple but extremely effective. They have used space really well, and the red text work well with the black and white imagery. it is key in my design that I use negative space wisely, to get a strong final outcome.
I recently have discovered the work of Australian illustrator and designer Ken Taylor. His work instantly grabbed my attention, due to the detail and use of colours. His ideas are unique,clever and everyone of his designs looks like it has taken an incredible amount of time, effort and care. Because of this the quality of his designs are flawless.
