Using my original written essay, I want to produce a publication that shows my own understanding of the rules within successful editorial design. The content for my publication will be my essay, as this explains the fundamental principles of editorial design, the roles and layout of a high fashion magazine. In my essay I have talked about layout, type, grid systems and what the layout communicates, so I want to include all of these elements within my own publication, identifying grid systems, showing quotes that back up the principles of design and overall potentially mocking up my own high fashion magazine inspired publication.
Using the Van de Graaf canon as my starting point for page layouts, as I have learned that this forms an aesthetically pleasing layout.
The type I will use for my publication uses Baskerville and Bodoni as Bodini is an iconic typeface associated with hugh fashion magazines, and Baskerville is a legible, pleasing serif font that is suitable for the use of large amounts of body copy.
