Layout


This was a layout in which I chose the photos, pull quote, and arranged the entire layout from the story already given. I though it was important to represent both a white elderly couple and a black elderly couple since the article says that tension revolving around race fades with age. The other photo was added to show elderly people engaging in social activities, something the article says helps the elderly remain happy. I then placed the pull quote in order to balance out the two page layout.

Logo Design


For the logo for the magazine "Wanderer" I wanted to keep all letter lowercase in the Gil Sans Ultra Bold to be simplistic yet eye-catching. In this way the logo can adopt the cover picture and other cover logos that may be needed without overpower them, but still the name of the magazine is clear. By adding the alternating lines of color, I wanted to create not only a fun color palette, but also a slight sense of movement in the letters, reflecting the name of the magazine itself.
