Scamp copies of Magazine Covers - Independent study

Objective

To further understand the part white space plays in a graphic artefact.

To become aware of how designers balance elements on a page.
Info: A 'scamp' is a first rough idea or mockup.

Tasks
1 Draw
Gather a range of front pages from different types of magazines. This can be via Pinterest or your own examples.

In your sketchbook, draw 2 pages of front pages. Feel free to work in slightly different sizes.

Look at your example and quickly and loosely sketch the page. Pay close attention to the light and dark tones—allow your brain to 'threshold' the greys into either light or dark tones. See my measly example above.

2 Annotate
Using the magazine checklist HERE, annotate some of your drawings and ensure that you have included all of the elements.
Feel free to go further and annotate further...

Checklist for assessment
2 pages of front pages - at least 15.

Time needed
Three hours.

Deadline
Wednesday the 18th of October.
