Reflection Questions

1. How does the design that you created demonstrate your knowledge of Magazine Design and the parts of a magazine cover and interior? The design created by my partner and I show our knowledge of Magazine Design and parts of a magazine cover and interior because we met all the requirements. We used certain color schemes and fonts.

2. In what ways does your magazine connect to the corporate identity of the magazine? What are some design queues that you used from the existing magazine? The magazine that we created had a lot in common with the corporate identity. We used their logo (Teen Vogue). The cover has the same type of layout shown in the magazine and the interior portrays similar aspects as the original.

3. How did completing the brainstorming packet and sketches affect your design process? The brainstorming packet and sketches allowed my partner and I to jot down ideas and ultimately choose the best that go together well and fits the corporate identity.

4. How did you like working with a partner? How do you think working with a partner makes the design process easier and more difficult? Working with a partner helps because your partner will give you advice and feedback. The design process is easier because both must take ideas from each other. It could be difficult sometimes because there will be times where partners disagree on certain aspects.

5. Looking at your partner’s design, if you were to design your partner’s portion by yourself how would it look different? What would you have changed? Looking at my partner’s portion I would change some fonts on the magazine.

6. Describe the ideal partner (co-worker / co –designer)? The ideal partner is honest, helpful and patient.
