Glorifying selflessness

Topic: Glorifying selflessness in women 

Theme: Focus on the female symbol

Reasoning: Although this could have been presneted through a range of iconography (for example 50's housewives), a symbol approach was taken, to promote even at its route, women are symbolised to be different from men. 

In conjunction to the previous spreads, key design traits were carried through, including type and type setting. In order to promote the other spreads further, organic shapes were devised, outling specific areas of text, making for a more visually intresting approach. 

A black outline was added to the female symbol in order to develop hierarchy upon the page. This ensuring that the attention to the iconography is instant, embedding the topic area visually. This also helps to balance the opposing outling. 

The pink aesthteic of the design promotes the trends resembled within the magazines context. The over usage of feminine atriibutes promotes pastiche towards other publications such as Polyester, in turn creating continuety for those already intrested within feminist publications.


Does this style relate?

As the spreads throughout promote a range of illustration and colour, it came to my attention that the female anatomy spread only maintained 3 colours, and as a result the above design was developed. This ensuring that links within the magazine are made, and that no one spread appears to be a one off.
