Week 13 Out Of Class

Working on the cover video:

For the cover I decided on doing a interesting effect that interacted with the title and that helped to give the feel of the magazine. I feel that I did accomplish this. I found a tutorial through youtube that helped me to create this. It runs about 10 seconds long. I decided to use a purple hue because it goes along with my color scheme and I have yet to use it. 

Render News Article: (Article 3)

This is the complete Vertical and horizontal versions of my third article for next class. It does not really have a title it is just the news segment, as it is labeled in the top right corner like the rest of my articles. 

This article includes three short stories and contacting the magazine, about the cover and about a competition I made up. The content includes fake emails and such but because none of these elements or sites actually exist there are no links or interactions on this page. This article follows directly after the cover page so its theme and design is based off of the effect I created for the cover. I felt that this would aide the reader in easing into the magazine.  In the bottom right corner is a small interaction key for the reader so they can learn and understand what is clickable within the publication.

 Social Network Article: (Article 4)

After completing article three, I started right into article four. Article four is the article about the types of design/motion design social media. I have not done the impact spread yet but below are the three content pages in both orientations.

I took patterns from the site's logo (for example dribbble's logo is a basketball so circle) and created a section for the text to stand out from the screenshot of the site. Each section's color is based of the website. After some experimenting I figured out that saving the screenshots out as jpegs is a way to get the best quality on the Ipad (I also had tried .png and .tiff). The current content is mainly content from the site's about section, explaining what they are about. I plan on refining the copy, but keeping it a similar length. For the rest of the space I am going to create a checklist to compare each site's features.
