Field Trip to the Library

Today we traveled to the library where CIAS librarian Kari Horowitz who pulled together a collection of magazine from all over. We saw tiny rectangular flip book styled books from Visionaire to larger poster sized magazines from Manipulator.

Things that we liked about the older magazines were their use of negative/ white space and how important a role photographs played over ads. Flair gave us the idea of moving from one page to the next by combining cut-outs from pages to be a part of the next page.

Somethings to think about were how do we move from a tactile action of flipping through the physical pages to an iPad? Maybe shaking the iPad would shuffle our projects?

Magazines We Looked At:
Visionaire
Look
Life
Flair
Colors
Manipulator
Good

Dazed and Confused
