Been working on layouts for about a week now in indesign, taking inspiration from many photographers now using the newspaper format to display there work to a wide range of people, its real nice to be able to pick up a free paper by a collaboration of artists of singular as it allows you to see new work easy and the creativeness they've gone to in there page designs.
So far for the cover i've taken inspiration from Alex soth & Ross mantel using a similar cover layout to ross mantels newspaper ( in the wake ) , but instead of an image, using a block of black colour, and a similar font from alex soths (from here to there:Alec Soths America). over the block of colour in white with just our names / Ashleigh Britten / Christine Sanderson / Sandra Grabolska / Joe Earley, then at the bottom i placed the word waste in black, below the block.
So far this is the cover, the black wraps around to the back cover too, its quiet a graphic style, very simple and effective, plus the newspaper being a collaboration, its nice to leave the images to the inside of the paper to cancel out any issues with people wanting to use there image amongst others.
As for the rest of the newspaper we felt it would be nice to keep a similar theme thought out keeping to the same fonts and styles, Having a different intro page for each artist, then leaving the other pages quiet simple with single of double images.
Going to have an index page 2 / 3 and then 23 / 24 will maybe have some writing too, dont think it looks right when an image is bleeding though onto the back page, plus there will be a block of colour too which will effect it.
Off into uni again tomorow to work with more ideas.
