You will be submitting 2 items in this portfolio.
First, use any graphic design software of your choice to create a layout for a CD cover, magazine cover, website, or advertisement with emphasis on the overall balance, consistency, and use of hierarchy in your layout. Pay close attention to the placement and alignment of individual design elements. I have pasted an example of another student's magazine design below to help you with this part of the portfolio.
Next, explain in one paragraph what purpose your design serves and how your layout helps to accomplish this purpose. Save your composition as an image file and save your explanation in a Word document.
I'm sorry, but I am not able to view images or files, so I am unable to provide feedback on your design. However, I can offer some general advice on creating a balanced and consistent layout with effective hierarchy.
Make sure to use a grid system to help organize your design elements and maintain a cohesive visual structure. Pay attention to the alignment of text and images to create a clean and professional look. Use hierarchy to guide the viewer's eye through the design, making important information stand out. Consider using contrast in color, size, and font styles to create visual interest and hierarchy. Overall, aim to create a layout that is visually appealing, easy to navigate, and effectively communicates the purpose of your design. Good luck with your project!
