Working Backwards

This is my project from my Design 1 class at Tennessee Technological Institute. We were tasked to take an item and combine it with another to make a new item. Once we have taken that new item we make a magazine spread about it.

So first we combined our two things which was tables! and apparently tables. . . ? Yeah so we made a stack of tables for the first redition. This didn’t stay for long but lets check it out for the time being.

So working with the idea of Tables, I was thinking of playing with the idea of how weird that is and to put these weird tables in the Backroom. Which were a set of images that look familiar but still different. I worked to try to make the design a bit funky but it wasn’t really working, so we ditched the idea of tables and changed it up.

Our next idea had us combining the ideas of Level and Atmosphere, leading to the development of the Atmosphere-O. This device was designed to control the feeling in an area. Now all it needed was a funky Tech Magazine to go into.

Here is the final product featuring the Atmosphere-O developed by Ryanism Industries! The first time Ryanism Industries was mentioned, although using a previous logo variation.

The design of the magazine spread was to replicate the same feeling as a tech magazine. It has a page that is dedicated more to as an ad, white the other in a breakdown of the device.

Mainly if I were to redo this project I would fix up the right side of the page. Its very messy and makes it super hard to read. The text is massive and since then, I’ve learned that text can be smaller and still legiable.
