masthead ideas

Last week we made mastheads and today we critiqued it.

Here are my ideas.

New fonts

I've got new fonts!

from www.dafont.com

shoes

I'm totally off-track now, but I might use this one and make it a very girly magazine.

I've always wondered how hard it would be to do this!

Fontifier

One day, when I have a spare US$9, I'm going to use this to make a font for my computer.

Article Idea

I found information about making your own soap. This could be fun to try.

I'm fascinated by this, but not for this publication i guess

First Blog Post Ever!

So, I've set up a blog.

For this assignment, I'm thinking about doing a small publication with a 'homemade' crafty grow-your-own-vegetables kind of feel. I'm going to look for articles about making stuff, perhaps for gifts, or just to be cheap or original.
At this stage my magazine inspirations are Healthy Food Guide and NZ Gardener, just because they have articles and 'how-to' guides as well as recipes or pattern instructions. I think I'll use these for general layout ideas, but not for the overall 'look'.
I'm still undecided about exactly which topics I'll cover, so I'll see what articles I can find.
