Form + Content 2 : Bulb Magazine


  • Mag - Art : Innovation in Magazine Design [pg. 065]
  • Presented as a small "proof" of a cover of their magazine. Probably a previous issue.
  • They way that they use the image to relate to the jumbled concepts of the content of the magazine pulls everything together. It's simple, eye catching, and gets the point across easily.
  • The different uses of type, size, color, and placement help pull together the idea of the thought process in the brain. The change of colors helps to draw yours eyes around the page to keep you interested.
  • They seem to keep in mind that the design needs to be simple, but not to simple. They used textured fonts to add a special characteristic to the design. They used some form of a grid to keep the text in alternating sized lines, and to keep it flush with the edges. 
  • Type, in this image, was used to shoed disorderly thoughts, as well as to get the entire idea of the main points of that particular issue across on the cover.
