Editorial Collage

Back to University, and the first project is an editorial design piece. These images show the scanned collages i made to inspire and inform my editorial design.

I definitely found this a helpful and very inspiring task and wish to document this for future reference as this will be a task that will always be helpful.

I also wish to talk about how I would go about this again, which is by maybe finding more body type and from a more extensive range of magazines. As i had one type of magazine the Body text does seem to be very similar, I also would like to experiment more with colour and image by cutting into them and overlaying them in interesting ways.

I definitely need to remember this very effective way to create layouts for my web design

Amy Rigby - Dancing with Joey Ramone

A good website which not only has the video for the song, but also looks into the song lyrics and picks out some amazing songs which much have had some impact on her as she has used them within the song Dancing with Joey Ramone.

Not only that this also shows, who Amy Rigby was, she may have been a singer songwriter who sounded like her roots where in folk, but her lyrics and past show her to be a more of a punk and bit more hard hitting than your common folk singer songwriters, an anti-folk hero.

I think for this brief i have recieved alot of inspiration from designers, and also illustrators who have worked on zombie comics or movies, especially as i have followed alot of the movies and comics.
