New Work
01.19.09
From Croatia: AMZ News
Nikola Mileta, Art Director for AMZ News in Croatia sends along some work from a project intended to reach out with love to the advertisers: These are few spreads from out latest free business magazine that we are sending to our partners and advertisers. This issue's main topic was [the] online advertising that's starting to grow over here in Croatia (yes, we are a bit late from you guys). It was hard to find a good cover image so finally I decided to use a billboard as general symbol of advertising. On it I placed the web page of our celebrity magazine and headline "Online advertising." The rest of the headlines perfectly fit the building below the billboard.
The opening spread for the cover topic used the same treatment.
Our other nice spread was written by our sales director. The headline was "Top 10 reasons why should you advertise" because the declining advertising trend is hitting our shores as well as yours so with this article we wanted to warn advertisers to continue to advertise. (I think we would all like to warn our advertisers as well, Nikola. Good thinking. -- Ed.) Since there was not much text and two pages were planned, I decided to make big text boxes to resemble old newspaper ads. Beautiful Clarendon came in handy in this topic.
Hope you like it and please feel free to coment on it.
NEW WORK is a new recurring feature. We'll welcome anything that's gone to the printer recently, something you're especially proud of and think might be inspiring to the membership and readers of Grids. We'll note the credits and the publication and shine a little light on the latest and greatest in publication design.
Please reduce your layouts to no larger than 1200 pixels wide and don't forget to include all relevant credits and a little background (if you feel like). Send your submissions to tips@spd.org and we'll post them as we get them.
