The goal of the project was to create a magazine. The subject of my magazine is a video game called World of Warships Legends. The project involved a cover, table of contents, letter from the editor, three articles, and a back cover. Not to mention, I had to develop a title and various cover images to explore what my magazine would look like as a series of monthly issues.
Covers
The real challenge came from the amount of text and images my project encompasses. I focused on spacing, giving room for each spread to breath. I also utilize images and quotes to further break up the monotony of the text. With that said, the magazine focuses on the game, but is not afraid to discuss historic events and figures.
Spreads
I frequently try to display the wide variety of the game’s artwork. I also incorporated various historical photos relating to the topic at hand. I also wanted to do page letters in a unique way by showing the actual magazine title and page number at the same time.
The game itself utilizes a lot of artwork, and I frequently try to display it within the magazine. I also incorporated various historical photos relating to the information on the relevant spreads. Every new section starts with a large image and bold type.
Overall, the topic is very information heavy, so I had to find a way of balancing text and images. Throughout the magazine, I also highlighted anecdotes or relevant quotes by utilizing a larger red font. Plus, it adds a slight break from the monotony of the general content. I also wanted to do page letters in a unique way by showing the actual magazine title and page number at the same time.
