OMG! A MAGAZINE?! AND IT'S FOR ARTISTS?! - Multimedia Arts Magazine _____________________________________________________________ Aside from being a tip for making magazines, I just really want to imagine being interviewed for a magazine. And yes, the main target would be artists.  Alright, to start out, as usual, I searched for a good reference . I don't need a lot, just one reference is enough for me. I found this reference from escapemotions.com, and I really love the lay out and the way it was formed. The color palette is striking as well and very unique, which made me want to do a similar approach. I wanted to incorporate the MMA course as well as market myself to the public. I also wanted to feature myself as a public figure and an inspiration to the artists all over the world. I made sure to look for a similar reference to what I was trying to go for. Here is the reference I chose: reference link: https://www.escapemotions.com/blog/top-10-inspirational-magazines-for-art...

  YOU WANNA MAKE A BROCHURE? I'VE GOT YOU - Multimedia Arts Brochure _____________________________________________________________ So here you are again, this time coming at me to ask for advice about brochures. No?

  LET'S TALK ABOUT MAKING LOGOS, SHALL WE? - Multimedia Arts Logo _____________________________________________________________ I admit it, I find it reaaally hard to make logos and it's a struggle to even think of a concept logo. Especially without the proper inspirations. And that's why we're here as today we are going to be talking about logos and some tips in making one. First things first, just like any other article, it's recommended to find some good inspiration . What determines good inspiration would be something that is relative to your theme and vision. A theme is the main idea or concept that you will be incorporating in a design, not only in logos, but in of all kinds. Meanwhile, a vision is   something that relates to a guideline in one's mind to visualize a design. I'll be trying these references for a Multimedia Arts Logo .  references: 1st - https://www.deviantart.com/reyalty21/art/multimedia-arts-logo-2-98572930 | 2nd - https://www.faceboo...

HEY, HOW DO FONTS WORK?- The DO's and DON'Ts _____________________________________________________________ If you're here, there's only a few things I can assume as to why. Either you just simply want to expand your knowledge, or you want to know about fonts and what is effective when it comes to their uses. Whatever your aim is, I'm here to simply explain which fonts are best, specifically for public design. First off, what is the difference between Sans Serif fonts and Serif fonts?  The easiest way to spot what font belongs to which family, is the strokes on a letter. I personally call them tails, just for the simplicity of it but a proper term for it is " strokes ".  credits to: https://ittrainingcontent.iu.edu/training/crpos/files/uc/selecting-fonts-colors-layout.html Now that you know the difference of the two family fonts, when and how are they used?  Serif - These are used for the body of a text. It represents elegance, trust, seriousness, and reput...
