ATLANTUS PROJECT | MARTIN TOFT AND GARETH SYVRET
https://www.martintoft.com/atlantus/
Be careful with your choices…aim for impact and originality. Use your crops and edits from your Adobe Photoshop experiments.
You will need to show…
- inspiration from a selection of newspaper designs
for this…you should
- photograph at least 5 x examples from the middle table and add to blog / describe and explain what is interesting / successful about them
- Design your layout by showing an understanding of conventions, but also subvert conventions to allow a more dynamic, or fluid approach.
- Remember to discuss your findings using subject specific vocabulary.
Think carefully about how your images compliment each other, contrast against each other or flow as a sequence in a specific order.
2. Design pages / spreads that have a combination of
- single image
- double page (full bleed) spread
- 2 /3 or multi image
- overlapping images : conceal + reveal / obsure / transparent
- images that can be scaled up across 4 x pages
- include some archival / nostalgic images
3. Finally…you must add a colour -coded motif (numbered by page) that indicates your team / zone somewhere in your design.
Use the map from our photo-shoot day in St Helier to help you with this…
Your idea could be a small dot in the corner, or incorporated within your image or page in another way. You can be inventive with this idea, but aim for consistency throughout your pages.
You can export Indesign pages as a PDF or JPEG…but also using screenshots is a great way to illustrate your design process and gives you opportunities to add annotations too…
Deadline for completion : Tuesday 17th July
Be brave…be bold…get creative and have fun!
