In reference to Brittney’s post below, I wanted to give my insights about the class on Monday when we visited the library and looked at different magazines. I was really interested in the way the magazine used imagery for the stories they where publishing. Magazines like COLORS and GOOD used the imagery throughout the story to help complement the text. I read an issue of COLORS that was about aids and they used clever ways of showing facts without showing info-graphics. They explained how sleeping with someone without a condom could lead to an STD because they might have slept with 2-3 other people unprotected then they might have slept with another 2-3 people, and so on. After 4-5 pages of explaining that, they filled a whole page with images to show the scale.
As for a typeface or logo I liked, I really enjoyed the GOOD logo. It was simple and bold. I think for 585 Magazine, we need a font that shows both numbers and letters boldly. I think having 585 like GOOD would be effective. But is it pushing the bar? Our designer can figure this out!
