So here are the spreads to my final newsletter - I actually had a lot of fun with this and I was really impressed with how it turned out. The first image is of the first spread which is the front and the back, and the second image is of the inside spread.
For our project we were supposed to choose either a topic of "design now", "global now" or "fashion now" and I chose a mixture of design and global. We were also supposed to highlight the aspect of a newsletter (like a nameplate, bylines, headlines, etc...) I used all of my own photography that I had taken while I was on a trip to Australia (in 2006 - yikes that was so long ago) and I touched them up in photoshop.
As mentioned in one of my previous posts, I wanted this newsletter to highlight different parts of the world's architecture each month, so I decided to fictitiously begin the process with Australia, simply because I took a lot of interesting pictures while I was there. You can see that one the inside spread I had to do what I like to call "information lines" as they were not true articles. As I kind of worked outside the box a bit, I wanted to just feature information on certain places in the world then have one (or two) actual articles written by people that might not actually relate to the site visited, but it be an article about architecture. Anyway, I had to work with the pictures I took, so I obviously had to find relative information about them to put in the newsletter. I also wanted this to seem like it was a brand new newsletter company starting up so I included a letter from the editor on the front.
I like to think it turned out nice and polished. (I will probably do a little tweaking in the future!)
