(This is a project from back in 2010)
After we created our masthead we had two assignments decide on our color palette and design our table of contents. For the color palette I wanted colors that could match the different sections of the magazine while meshing well together. After researching a lot of photos for reference palettes and tweaking of what I created I ended up deciding on a semi changing color palette. The two color columns in the middle would change depending on what the cover image was, only the color not the saturation, tint, shade, or contrast.
Although I didn't choose the four mast head concept as seen in my previous post, I did quite enjoy it's visual effect and the possibilities that went with it. After cleaning up the font (it had quite a few rough edges not easily seen in the images provided) I came up with three ways for it to look.
After some experimentations on how it would look best of the page and another group critique it ended up looking like this.
