This brief echoes a ‘real-life’ industrial project, in which an existing graphic product is reviewed, to achieve a greater market share, or in this case, to celebrate a special 10th edition issue of the Shufti magazine. The difference, and challenge for the design student here, is to produce all the various elements for Shufti 10, which would otherwise be out-sourced to specialists perhaps – photographers, model agencies, stylists, post-production experts, copywriters. Combine your photographic, graphic design and copywriting skills, to visually explore/translate your chosen theme. Also, you may wish to consider a re-design of the Shufti logo within your cover design, to reflect the limited edition of this issue, although this is not a prerequisite.
I chose CONTROL and looked at the oppressive effects of war on all that it touches. Attempting to combine a traditional with contemporary but still capturing the feel of SHUFTI. I took low angle shots with a lot of flash.
