This is my iPad magazine design on a car magazine specifically oriented towards the drifting car culture. The magazine is called SIDEWAYS.

I like the way Car and Driver has had their layout for years because it tells you whats going to be featured in the main articles of the magazine before you read it. The bold headline of the magazine helps to draw in the reader for car enthusiasts with big company names and popular car brands. Every cover the magazine features vibrant cars dueling it out or in an action shot to further attract the reader.

• figure and ground: The zerbra style shoes work both in tandem with the backround while seperating itself from it with the contrasting colors. The backround is displayed as soft earthy colors of the sahara while the vibrant black and white stripes help the shoes to stand out.
• proximity and alignment: The same font to advertise the shoes is used in the adiadas logo. They are the same lower case typeface and it makes for them to really work well together
• continuation: The layout of the entire page looks like animals on a safari. The shoes are zebras and look as if they are just standing in the grass with some of it even surrounding the sole of the shoe.
• visual hierarchy: The stripes of a zebras make them stand out in the wild and the same rule applies to these shoes. they make the shoes the largest thing in the screen compared to a tree in the background to help them stand out. The shoes take up most of the space of the screen.

The Nike Website is very eye grabbing with its rotating screens to preview its products on the site. The Layout is very clean and the tabs are clearly written out without having to search for them. The absence of space and use of vibrant colors helps to make the products stand out even more to the point where you want to click on it to get more information about it. I think Nike did a very good job with the overall layout of this website and its attention to detail.

This illustration looks to have been pretty straightforward but at the same time pretty difficult. Since it is black and white, there was no use for color or any sort of gradients. However, using the line tool to create most of the shapes along with the shape tool for the tuning keys and knobs. The creator must have uses the pen tool to create some of the bends in the guitar and help make those tight curves in the body of the guitar. The shape tool was also used to create the pickups on the middle of the guitar along with the little fret markers on the neck of the guitar.
