This week was my first time designing for the department pages. I read VOX before I took this class all the time, but for some reason I was under the impression we were going to be more creative with our individual departments. Turns out everything is in a template and you just have to push things around and make it all fit and look beautiful, VOX style. In a way it was a nice break from trying to be really creative all the time.
I will say that I underestimated the time limit on it all. Hours seem to go by like minutes. There were some revisions and I had to come in Monday, but it all went rather smoothly compared to last week's cover.
I'm really excited about this semester. The first few weeks were a lot to take in, and even after our discussion Tuesday about the VOX 5 Ap covers, weekly VOX Ap designs and the Meredith Project, I am finding that I really enjoy coming up with creative concepts and forcing myself to think around the limits of the VOX style and my own skill level. I've already learned so much and this class is definitely giving me the excuse I need to go buy myself an iPad ASAP.
Design. Inspire. Reflect. My experience as a designer for VOX magazine in my final semester at Mizzou.
