When I first got this project, I instantly thought doing my project about Michael Jackson. He is the one of my favorite singers and his moves and music are extremely energetic that I think this will be good for making magazine about him.

Pictures

I tried to avoid pictures that are lower than 300 pixels. Most of my images I used in this project are more than 800 pixels. One of the images that I used on the right side of first spreadsheet is from Vogue magazine in 2007. The image was relatively low to place only a single image. I used all three images from Vogue to make a one page cover.
The most interesting pictures that I found was my cover face. The size was perfect for to cover the single page by itself (1500 pixels) and this was a face of Michael Jackson by drawing with pencils.

Typefaces

First of all, I used Blackoak Std for my title of magazine “ZEA!?” Because I looked for some typeface that looks very condensed and has strong feeling on it. For the body text I used Caslon and it was really easy to use because they categorized with different purpose of uses: heading or body texts and also the body texts are easily to read. Other sub headings such as the side bar, or anything other than body texts, I used Folio Std and Frutiger LT Std because it really matches with my magazine title and I do not want to use the same typeface for heading.

Design

I tried to keep the same design concept with the original magazine. However, it places two magazine ads in the article and I decided to move those. Basically, the magazine illustration was done by Andy Warhol who is one of my favorite illustrate designers. Thus, I decided to go to similar concepts with the design pattern he used with different pictures. The other spread sheet, I inserted side bar which I collected all the celebrities quotes about Michal Jackson and other page I put a huge Michael Jackson’s silhouette image in the middle.
