Final Project: Micro-macrocosm

In this blog post I will show all of the spreads that make up the full magazine. ‘Air’ could be considered the Macrocosm (the other meaning) of the micro visuals: the individual spreads that have their own individual meanings (Tufte, 1990, pp.37-53).

The front cover of ‘Air’. There is a hole through the print in the bottom right corner so that the viewer can peek through the cover.
The contents page show the viewer an overview of the magazine macrocosm.
A fully composed article about the benefits of painting – this spread has a whole micro meaning that helps to create the full magazine.
The main feature of my magazine – a tutorial using Narratives over Space and Time to instruct the viewer.
The second part of the tutorial – to inspire the viewer.
An article composed of multiple layers in order to create an instructional spread.
The back cover of the Magazine shows another microcosm for ‘Air’.

The back cover features an advert as a usual magazine would. The advert is for a mood tracking app and represents a microcosm for the larger theme (macrocosm) of mental health. Overall, each spread works as a microcosm for the larger image of the whole magazine and the brand that is ‘Air’.
