Crit Feedback [02]

For this particular crit i had to gather 5 images which i i felt showed successful interactive deign in relation to my chosen subject area in the the speaking from experience brief. Mine were the following:The "IsNotMagazine" was an example that Ian gave me of successful interactive design. Created in 2004 this magazine lasted until 2008 where it met its last issue but a very inspiring magazine none the less. Taking inspiration of a public art poster this magazine was run monthly and was free, the magazines articles were spread over the page and could be read if the issue was placed in an environment where it could be read over a period of time, near benches or bus stops would seem an ideal place. The visual style was quite appealing and definitly an original idea of interactivity.
This piece for a magazine called wallpaper run every month. Designed by an architect called Zaha Hadid this outrageous die-cut magazine illustrates a recreation of one of his recent architectural projects. I find it really interesting, this piece could only be purchased by subscribers to the magazine and so was a limited edition, a piece of art in itself i suppose.
This i think is a good example of what i am trying to achieve. This newspaper style magazine was made to draw attention to some longer written pieces that are more easily assimilated in print than online. And also illustrates the cheapness of how tabloid newsprint publications are made.
This magazine is not an actual magazine but an image i found. By designer Gary Cook, he cut down ordinary magazines to 35mm squares, they became new publications by placing a new cover on the front which although this isn't a magazine is a reminder that magazines don't have to be A4 format.
This piece was for a magazine called "Tare Lugnt" and was the 3rd edition of which only 1 was printed of the magazine. Obviously its quick a big commitment to make having a tattooed magazine, but none the less a visually engaging idea which is definitly ground-breaking in terms of publication design.
