Art Deco for Digital Arts

My preliminary sketches for my magazine front and spread aren't what I would like them to be. Although I will admit, I had a very difficult time trying to figure out how to execute this. And after my research, I finally figured it out. I know what I want to do, but this isn't how it will look. I am actually still working on some sketches and brain storming some ideas, but I am pretty solid what I want it to be about.

 Here, a sketch for the cover of my magazine, I found my research to be really helpful. Art Deco has come about around post WWII, so for my cover I wanted to create an art deco styled cover of WWII fighter planes. I want the titles to be about art styles after WWII focusing on art deco and the origins of it. And the other titles of the spread inside magazine on the cover about architecture post WWII between the 1930s and 1940s. Houses, city architecture and art of that time.

 

I am still working on designs and concepts for what the actual spread will look like but it will all be art deco inspired with articles about homes inspired by the deco and city building and other fixtures of art deco time.

I will create illustrations for the front cover and borders and fancy up the spread itself. And I will use pictures I have researched for the spread itself. And focus the typography around the deco style.
