Art Magazine Design

This term in art we are learning about magazine design. Each group has different topic-page that we have to design. my group had the topic WHERE YOU ARE FROM: HAUKAINGA. we then made thumbnail sketches of what we wanted our design to look like. then use illustrator to put our sketches on to and form the design.

we found an image on google that matched the outline of our thumbnail sketch and used it for an idea on what we want our page to look like. we then created our own and made it creative by putting a border around the sides but decided that it wasn't working for us and we were going to try something different. as that is what we are doing for our next step. 

Does your design reflect your thumbnail sketches so far?

yes we even tried to add more on to the design to be more creative

Does your design reflect the feeling of your topic?

once we add photos I think it will a bit more.

Do you know where your leading lines are?

not yet but we are still trying to figure it all out

Do you know what your focal point is?

yes our focal point is the title as it is the main part of our topic

LIFE IN BRITTEN 1822

It all started on  May 6th, 1822 in Britten was one of the most unwanted places for people to live.  There was poor communication, it was very unsanitary and there housing was terrible people lived in houses that were so close together you could hear your neighbors conversation. No one liked living there so mum and dad decided that the day had come they had been searching and searching for the right place for us to move and they found a perfect place it had great communication and the country was so much cleaner and it had way better housing. I was so excited to move but also scared. because what if it wasn't the way people thought it was or say it is what if they don't like us. Mum thought I was over exaggerating it but didn't think so. The next day it was my birthday I turned 15  and also the day my family and I were moving to New Zealand. It was going to take us 75-120 day to get there I was excited to get on the ship because my dad was going to be the captain. He loves boats my mum was going to be the cook she makes amazing food. I ran on the boat so fast I nearly fell in the water all I could hear was my mum yelling at me to slow down but I couldn't I really wanted to see my cabin and get set up. I was so excited to see the cabin because it’s on the nice rich side of the ship there was a nice comfortable bed and it was so nice and warm.

It was day 75. I woke up to the sound of thunder and rain and the warmth of my cabin. I laid there for a bit wanting to get up but mum said I had to wait till she got into my cabin before I was allowed to get up for breakfast.finally it was time to eat I got on my big fluffy robe and my nice comfortable slippers and went down to the dining room. I waited for my breakfast patiently that morning on the menu I choose pancakes with chocolate chips and syrup on top. After breakfast I went down to the showers and got ready for the day. As I was walking back to my room I bumped into a boy his name was Harry Styles. He was a 15-year-old boy and instantly we became good friends and even started dating.  Today was day 99 of the trip we still had 21 days left on the trip me and Harry were having so much fun together we would always play board games and go swimming together we decided to move in to the same cabin as we always had sleepovers and we were best friends I also had a spare bed in my room that was practically his as he always slept in it.

It was day 120 the last day of our journey I was so excited because my mum was making me and harry a special breakfast and we finally get to go to New Zealand. After breakfast, we got into the showers and got dressed. My mum came into the cabin and told me and harry to pack up our things and clean the cabin harries mum was staying in the house next to our in new Zealand.so we were always going to see each other which made us even more excited. Finally, it was time to leave the boat we all lined up ready to get off the boat. We finally got off and the first person I saw was a policeman as he was there to make sure we all got off safely. My first thought was wow people are so nice here. We then made it to our house it was so nice I had a big room on one side of the house and my mum and dad had a room on the other side of the house it was way better and cleaner than Britten and we had so much room our house was so big I was in shock. I had to check out Harry's house so I ran next door as the houses were so far apart I went into his house and his house was so big as well and looked so different.

The next few months we enjoyed life in New Zealand the only sad thing was is that I got sick I had a heart condition and Only had a few months to live my family was so supportive and so was my best friend harry he would come over every day after school just to see how I was going and if I needed anything. The last few days came the days before I would carry my journey to heaven I had to stay in hospital so they could monitor me harry stayed with me as he promised he would be there by my side till the end. I wrote a letter to my family and friends to say how much I loved them that was hard. harry's letter was so hard to write as I didn't want to leave him but I knew I had to. It was my last day here the hospital told my family that it was time for me to go they came in and said goodbye but it was too late...
