Muslim feminists

Topic: Muslim feminists 

Theme: Removing connotations 

Reasoning: As the media frequently portrays Muslims in a negative light, this was physically envisioned within this spread as it mimics a newspaper. 

A sideways composition was explored in order to mimic that of a newspaper. Flush left was also used in order to highlight this. As the spread is positioned upon its side, this will cause the consumer to turn the magazine, in turn creating a physical experience for the consumer. And so, the information represented is more likely to stay with them. 

The image selected (two tone) also mimics the two tone nature of newspapers, this further embedding the sentiment within the design. 

A range of compositions were explored. In some circumstances the body copy lies over the crease. In order to ensure that legibility is promoted and the words are not lost, a gap must be promoted. 

Feedback

• Peers suggested that the sideways approach was innovative, and would make the consumer stop and think about the content. 
• The colour pallet was said to be effective as you do not traditionally associate Muslims with the colour pink. 
• The type is legible, and is easy to read
• The image appears best in the sideways context, relating to the newspaper theme.
