(6) First Set of Designs!

My First Attempt

I'm trying out a few layouts of my magazine and so far, I'm not as pleased as I want to be with my designs. I don't feel as though I have an structure with it. However, I'm only trying out a few experiments and enjoying the process so far. Here are a few images of what I've done so far:

This image shows a design of what I wanted to use as an editors page. I wanted something similar to the designs of Baron but it didn't come out how I wanted it to. The page was supposed to be crowded with the large words, however, after looking back at it a few times, I'm not completely satisfied with it. 

This next spread is something that I attempted in the beginning of my research. I wanted something slightly vintage but still modern. To some extent, the spread does have a vintage feel but the image on the right clashes with everything! The colours are also quite dull, so I need to research some colour palettes. 

These next few spread are my attempt at a contemporary layout. I tried to do something with some of the photographs I had and it's starting to go somewhere. I think that I just need to find some kind of consistency is my layouts. Because I'm still not entirely sure what I want for my magazine, my designs are all over the place. I'll draw up some new ideas!
