I was wrong, a couple more changes
















I have added the full name of the magazine to the back cover as I realised it wasn't mentioned anywhere in the magazine.
I have also dropped the point size of the front cover copy to 12pt from 14pt as it sits a little neater.

Finished...I think
















I have further revised the design of the 'Mark & Form' cover, including the spine and back cover, which specifies the paper and printing methods used.
I have adjusted the colours to allow for ease of screen printing the front cover, I have also decided the new two colour scheme has more impact than the previous cover.

The logo in the top left has been down-sized to stop it distracting from the cover image.

Final cover.























After making some adjustments to the content list and minor tweaking of the layout I have come to a decision for the cover for 'Mark & Form'.
I have completed the inside spreads, a total of 22 pages which I will post in due course.
I have the back cover and spine to attend to before finalising the project and making any further adjustments after the final critique.

Four more compositions.

























































































Four more cover layouts to muse over.

Cover idea























This is my first worked up version of a possible cover design for 'Mark & form'.
As you can see I have dropped the words mark and form from the logo as I feel it looks better this way.

The layout of this cover design draws the eye down in a diagonal from the top left corner to the bottom right, creating a hierarchy system.
The image used relates to the special report section of the magazine, i.e. the feature article.

A decision.

After a much appreciated critique with one of my tutors and fellow students, I have decided to work further on both the 'square grid' and the 'stacked Helvetica' logo ideas as they are the strongest.
My favourite being the latter I am very excited to explore its possibilities and develop my ideas through to a final solution.
