The idea of this final project was to create a newspaper representing either the Seven Deadly Sins or the Seven Heavenly Virtues using a variety of analog and digital methods. Each sin/virtue had a different required medium, requiring use of stock photos from various sources, and self provided/created imagery, all fitting a theme of our choosing. The final product was printed on 55gsm tabloid paper via the Newspaper Club.
For my project, I decided to do the Seven Sins with the overarching theme of the masks people wear.
This is the list of methods used to create each spread:
Lust - physical/scanned collage
Gluttony - typographic imagery
Greed - taken photo
Sloth - taken photo in duotone
Wrath - found photo
Envy - found photo with hand lettering
Pride - constructed image including the word
All images and materials used for this project can be found on my Dropmark here.
Lust: this is one of my favorite spreads, as it gave me the opportunity to improve on my collage methods, and I feel it's one of the best spreads.
Greed: this is my second favorite spread, since this was one of the first ideas I had for the project, and I think the picture came out well.
Pride: this spread was supposed to take up two pages, so I placed the word "pride" in the left corner and distributed the items around the board.
The following images are all of the spreads in order.
