My girlfriend returned from her trip to France with a selection of publications she purchased from 'Off Print Paris', an arts-publishing fair featuring vendors selling a range of publications from a variety of creative disciplines.
While looking through the various magazines and zines she purchased, the design of one of the publications; 'Adventice Issue 02', really caught my eye as a potential source of inspiration for my physical outcome.
ADVENTICE ISSUE 02
The images featured below display the aspects of the publication I found inspirational;
- Simple page compositions featuring typography and a simple background help focus the viewers attention on important segments of information.
- Such compositions would work well for displaying important quotes form my dissertation.
- Illustrations simply consist of black and a spot colour - Applying a limited use of colour helps to reduce the outcome environmental impact.
- The varying sizes of typography applied on the above spread helps to break up bodies of text and helps to keep the reader engaged when reading.
- Juxtaposing segments of text and whole page images helps to create balance and does not overwhelm the reader with massive amounts of body copy.
- Large aspects of type are used to create interesting typographic page compositions.

After reviewing the publications design I reviewed my analysis to identify design aspects that can be utilised when creating the physical aspect of the module.
