DPU – Digital Publishing

Well I haven’t updated for a while. This month, I’ve been in a class called Digital Publishing where we started learning about InDesign and talked about things like Magazines, Publications, Brochues, things like that. Talked a lot about text placement and laying things out. Anyway, we had a group project, rebranding a company, and an individual project – making a mini magazine. So my magazine is 12 pages, and is about the South East Asia Tsunami that hit in 2004. So this is what I’ve finished up for class. I’m gonna edit it a bit more I think… and try to get hi-res images and all so I can print it out. Anyway… here it is. Follow the link to the whole Magazine… INTL Magazine Project

Here’s the Cover, the main article spread, and one side of the other article =)

Basically the main article is something I wrote for my first month class English Composition (A Memior) about the Tsunami, and the trip that I took down south for those summer camps with the church group. The second article wasn’t written by me, but is about the book Children of the Tsunami, a book which I helped to produce in my Junior and Senior Year of High School at Bangkok Patana School. It was sold in the United Kingdom as well as Thailand and online at Amazon.com

The requirements for class was that we had two ads. I have one ad which I did for Openmind Projects, which is on the inside cover. The second ad was for the One Campaign. I did make the ad myself, and the words are my own, but all of the ONE Ad campaign posters have similar text treatment so… I guess it looks like one of theirs. Anyway…

TPL Lab Projects

The Lab Projects in TPL class were largely to do with Magazine layouts. We had to redesign a cover edition of a “Step inside Design” Magazine.

So It was supposed to be the 100th Design Issue, about trends and directions for the year. I looked up the color of this year, which is supposedly Blue, so i went with a blue background. Since this was a Typography class, my main focus was to work with how the text would be layed out.

This second piece was a redesign of a magazine spread from HOW magazine, another art and design related magazine.

Again I focused on working with the text and trying to use color to bring the two page spread together. It was challenging, because the original article was really well laid out, but I had fun.
