These are my final boards for Product, Range and Distribution. I feel they convey the message of the brief rather well and give the final look of what i created for the magazine done very well.

Final Magazine Spreads

This is my final magazine spread which i created, im really happy with the final look and how it has all come together, i think that this is some of my best work this year.

More Online Elements

After creating the first images of the online website that i made, i felt that one wasn't enough for what i was trying to display so i decided to create more pages so that you can see the whole thing when its created overall. 

This below is the look of the main final product once it is finished, i feel that this has a really strong and simple clean design towards it and would work well if put into actual css.

This below is the contact page that i created, this was the same browser top bars but has a different roll over button selected and also the information obvisouly has changed so its fitting towards the outcome

This is the final page which i created, this is the subscription page, simple and clear so the viewer can understand it, no problems to be had with this, i feel that this is my favourite and i would like to possibly use something along these lines for my own website. 

Designing the online presence...

To expand my range of this brief i then decided to make an online website where you are able to log on to either subscribe or purchase the posters that are features in the magazine. This is shown below, the designs as already a good bit planned on out paper which you can see in the previous posters but i still think this can work 

Above is where i can show the style of work where i have inserted a way of working which looks like i have added in the slider bar and the options at the top with a roll over section where you can see the work and choose what option you want 

Ive cropped the top end of the posters so it appears that when you scroll up the posters will disappear from the top and the rest of the work will start to appear from the bottom, or vice versa

I thought it would look good with yellow up the sides to add the whole colour scheme side of things towards it ... i was wrong.

This overall is my finished look of how the website will work, the only problem then would be that i need to import this into a image of a imac so i can see what the finished look is like, this will either make or break the whole look of this.

i forgot to chance to the numbers and the prices of each of the posters so they were all the same. problem sorted now

Overall finished product, i think this works nicely, and has a very simple and easy to understand look about it.

Poster design in magazine...

Each of these are on certain pages through the magazine and these give the reader a chance to see some of the work that is sold from reveal and they can go on the website if they like it so that they could the purchase it. 

The reason they are all on angles is so that the images don't have to be distorted when placed in the magazine. These make the reader however have to interact with the magazine and turn there head to read them properly 

Diversity

Even though the left hand side page consisting of all the information about each designer is the same set each time, the right hand side i have tried to keep some diversity about it by mixing up the layout each time, i feel this would make things a little more interesting, also all the work would not fit the same style without having to crop certain images and i didn't want to do that.

However i still kept them all in the same bounding box area so that they still have some consistency 

Magazine Cover Elements...

This is the front cover information design which i created so that for starters looked more along the lines of a magazine and also that it needed this on so that the reader had some information to read so that you are able to get the general gist of what is going on. 

These were the first few which i created but i then realised that once i placed these onto my front cover they didn't sit right with the angled text that was along the front of it. 

This then give me the idea of why not have the information at the bottom but slant the of the text and the lines so that it sits on a clear way so that it fits in with the design overall.

This for me works and front a distance looks like a professional magazine which would draw me in. 

BACK OF THE MAGAZINE

the back needed all the small print placed on it so that your able to find something about the company "reveal" you can then go to this and see it. also it makes it look more professional if this sort of information is on the back of a magazine.

When completed all the text is legible and can be read from a normal distance, however i think that i am able to make sure that there is a clear understanding of what i want to get from this. All the text gives clear understanding on what you need to do if you want to get one of these posters and what would happen if you would want to subscribe.

Above is the final outcome for the cover of my magazine.
