For any editorial based work it’s always needed to have a bold title that stands on the page so people can see what they are reading before carrying on. The title for Editorial design I will be using is the article name of ” In A Perpetual Present”, for my title I’ve had an idea from the start for it to be playful and experimental while also bold to see.
Due to my article being about a women having memory loose I knew it gave me a pass to be very playful with movement in letters, blurring out letters or removing them however removing letter can be a bit hard to read something.
To start experimenting with type I was using my main text typeface of “Questa” on indesign the idea I was going for was to make a word that had loads of movement this idea was to represent how maybe everything could seem to someone who’s got memory lose as it’s like a roll coaster of a life.
I feel that with title design is very feminine looking and something you would find for a fashion magazine I do like this design but I feel that something else in a more thicker and bold typeface would suit my design in my head a bit more better.
To help design better title design I decide to go on photoshop where I can write out the title and airdrop it on to procreate on my iPad where I can play around with it before bring it back on to my Mac.
The typeface I went on to design with is Din Condensed, I felt that this typeface is very bold and simple to see so when creating with it, it will be very easy to be by the readers.
Before getting into designing with the titles I had a thought of making my title fit into my theme of the spreads of destroying and blurring out image as when you can’t remember something it feels a bit blurry and fizzy to imagine.
Theses were 3 different tries I took on to create I felt that they all had the same look to but each one has something more down like blurred out or text waved out, I I really loved the 3rd text style the most however there was an error when putting on my laptop the quality dropped and I had to remove the white background. The outcomes didn’t work out well so I went back to designing on adobe software.
AS I liked the 3 designs above I wanted to see if I could recreate them on photoshop without my iPad ad I only add motion blur on the text and added the liquify onto top, so I could play around on photoshop to see if create the same design.
on photoshop I ended up create two titles that I wanted to try out as I tried out the text in different style in layouts here are what the outcomes look like on the indesign spread.
I really like both on the layout and design on the title I believe that I can make both of the title work however I do think the 2nd title work a little bit more as it suits with the background and fits in well with all magainze spread theme of destroying in some kind or representing blurry or loading of something in someone head.
I will go and ask for people opinions on which one to pick for my final outcome but having a playful title I feel that it suit the article more then just a plain simple title as it give the spreads a bit of character to my designs.
