As part of the 3rd assignment task i'm required to discuss the design formula for a chosen layout...i chose this particular magazine simply and purely because it was within arms reach.

I've highlighted sections in yellow and i'll now try to breakdown the design elements.

The FOCUS is on the header text 'digital SLR', due to it's size and it's placement on white space. The second most dominant feature is the camera, which has VOLUME. The blue sections are BALANCED in their distribution and they also provide a CONTRAST due to their colour.
The scattered photos to the right of the camera have both MOVEMENT and REPETITION, and the white borders provide a kind of LINE through the layout...

it has taken a little while to settle back into study mode, and time seems to have vaporized and vanished into the ether...surely it's not april?!

This blog has been created to keep a record of my progress in the Cert.3 in Media at Tas Polytechnic. So far my progress has been sluggish. Even as i write this entry my brain is working in slow motion. Maybe i'll make a cup of tea....

this is a test...
