FMP WEEK 16 (WC: 15/03/2021)

I spent this week creating the other flat plans for the article pages, once again was very time consuming and further proved to me to limit the content that I create for the magazine in this style. For efficiency and time management it is important to alter the content of my magazine frequently to avoid becoming over ambitious considering I am attempting to make a magazine for the first time in a global pandemic with limited resources, limited Wi-Fi and several distractions with a lack of library/ studio space. I have committed to making 12 double pages for each theme, one for the twelve laws of the universe and one for the twelve laws of karma. Which would be 48 pages of articles in total, this feels like a large amount, but I want to ensure that the text is limited and it contains bug design pages of quotes, something that could be ripped out the magazine due to its style yet also educational, mixing the two most important factors I found out when creating my customer profiles at the beginning of my sketchbook.

In my tutorial, it was stated that these pages were not working as effectively as they could be, looked quite amateur and were sadly not as effective as I had hoped. However, I loved these pages, and they suited the philosophical side of the magazine with a lot of refinement and research to back it up. My art style has developed considerable by creating these flat plans due to the technical abilities I have strengthened by creating innovative layouts and harmonising the choice of fonts with he position of the text and adding in images to create a coherent layout that appropriately reflects the content I am producing.
