Design- Consume- Use by- Discard (Repeat) 

Concept

important issue they show about waste in the fashion industry. Our inspiration was from `Positive magazine`, as their style is simple yet crisp. We liked how they kept every picture the same size and in the same place on each page, we thought it added a repetitive feel to represent the way we as consumers are treated all the same and as mannequins. Typographer and designer Erik Spiekermann inspired us with his creative typefaces where he lengthens and makes the lettering closer together. We tried to make the emphasize the text  to capture the publics attention. The Concept behind this fashion editorial is to show how fashion designers make clothes that only last for a short period of time, and how there`s always new trends and therefore is always waste in the fashion industry. We wanted her photographs to represent how consumers act like the fashion industry's mannequin and like clothes how they portray a `use by date`, which is why the model has been portrayed as a mannequin thrown out into the rubbish. The title 'Design- Consume- Use by- Discard (Repeat)' represents the way fashion industry treats there clothing and the consumers.

Page Layout & Style

.

We decided for a simple layout as we wanted all the public`s attention to be on the photographs, and the important issue they show about waste in the fashion industry. Positive magazine inspired us, with their designs on simplicity. We liked how they arrange their images in editorials, by keeping every picture the same size and in the same place on each page. We felt it added a repetitive feel, to represent the way we as consumers are treated all the same and as mannequins. Typographer and designer Erik Spiekermann inspired us with his typefaces . We thought it was interesting how he lengthens and makes the lettering closer together.

 

The Commission- Recycled Jewellery

-

The concept for this article spread is based around Jewellery made from car parts. It explains how something that was once considered waste, could be recycled and remade into something beautiful. The jewellery shown here, is photographed in a modern way which will appeal to our target audience. 

We have used five pages for this spread, and have dedicated it to recycled jewellery. We have included six images, three of them are positioned on a mannequin modelling different necklaces and the other three are of a model wearing the recycled jewellery. The jewellery has been photographed in a way that makes it appear very desirable, due to the modern styling and the way in which the model is posed.

 

- Page Layout & Style

For this spread we liked how the designer David Carson overlapped tet over an image, and how positive magazine designs there articles in a simple form. Simplistic pages is what where wanting to acheive, so all the attention was based upon the jewellery, which we thought gave the magazine a modern feel. Positive magazine inspired us with their use of space, and the way they make the images appear spread out equally.

We decided to place three images on two of the double page spreads as we learnt three is an important number in design and makes everything visually appealing. The first page of the article was designed to appear as black as then it fades to white. We thought thiswould make the pages merge with the rest of the magazine, a more profeshinal look. We also used  black and white font on the first page as we was inspired by Stefan Sagmeister and how he uses black and white text on his designs.
