Installed magazine spreads


For this brief I had to choose a world form a list which was installed and researched into it, then using the research that I found I had to interpret a series of responses on 4 double-page spreads in a order. Spread 1 explore the use of your chosen word. Spread 2 use 10 words that explain/relate to the meaning of your chosen word. Spread 3 use 50 words that explain/relate to the meaning of your chosen word. Spread 4 use 500 words that explain/relate to the meaning of your chosen word. I also had to Put together a short set of Guidelines, Style Sheets from which your spreads have been structured. My format was tight it had to be h 297mm x w 235mm, so just a bit bigger than A4. The typeface guidelines were 3 variants of Helvetica, Helvetica Bold & Helvetica Italic. The colour was also a restricted palette. I had to work with 2 colours and stock. I worked on washing machines and these then became my layouts. I enjoyed this brief because we had never done anything like this before and with us having John Walsh as a tutor it was good to see how he worked and what he liked and didn’t.
