Reflective Analysis

By working on this project, I learned about different styles of design, typography configurations, design thinking, design documentation and design mockups. While designing the magazine layout, I had placed the name of the magazine on the left side for a few designs. Although it looked good as a composition, it did not seem practical. I also learnt that the reason the name of the magazine is always written on the top is because they are stacked in shops and it is easy for customers to quickly go through and choose the one they are looking for. These mistakes were rectified by placing the name of the magazine on the top for all designs.
