Another issue of Marinalife magazine is underway. This will be my second issue designing the magazine, after tackling a complete redesign the first time around three months ago. San Diego is a featured destination in the upcoming issue, scheduled for delivery in early January.
I’m headed out to San Diego shortly after the magazine arrives, so this story greatly interests me. Below is the opening spread of the current design.
I’ve also included a two-page spread for a featured marina in the magazine. Hawk’s Cay, somewhere in the Florida Keys.
I’m not sure what my thoughts are on either of these designs right now. Pretty straight-forward. The type is very difficult to read in the San Diego image, but it shows up fine in print. I like the Hawk’s Cay layout, but it isn’t anything exciting or original. The client likes it, and that is the most important thing.
True that — if the client likes it, that’s often all you need.
I think the design looks nice, but if you’re looking for a critique (which you might not be, in which case, completely ignore this
, I don’t really like the pink script “s”. I think the dropcap works better on the second spread. I was going to say the reversed out type in the San Diego shot looks like it might be a problem, too, but if it prints fine, then nevermind!
Great work!
Yeah, the client designed they wanted a redesign of all the styles. I had to change all of the fonts and basically start from scratch as far as typography is concerned. I’ll post an update tomorrow, along with some of the other spreads.
function schedules, and consider machines purchases.
