Cover Ideas



I have been working on a front cover to my publication using logos I had developed previously and the Lee Jeffries photography, I want the focus to be on the imagery with one contrasting element the logo. I discussion with peers I was told that they where not sure about the logo it looked to friendly although they found it aesthetically pleasing, but once I explained that the publication had to be interesting to look at as well as informative, as it will be targeted at people with little knowledge of this issue or indeed do not particularly care about it, they appreciated what I was trying to create and where more on board with the type face I had chosen.

Combining Images and symbols






I have tried combining the symbols i have created to represent the different statistics with photography of Jeffres. This is in the attempt to make the stats more human that there are people behind the statistics, which is an integral part of the publication I wish to create.  

Info Graphics



After reading through a document obtained from the Crisis charity website I came across some startling facts and statistics about the lives and deaths of homeless people in the UK I wanted to experiment with trying to turn this into some sort of information graphics to illustrate these issues in a tasteful yet easy to understand way. The reason for doing this is in part due to the graphs in the original document where difficult to understand and I wanted to make this information more accessible.  

Homeless publication logo ideas




This is some of my initial development for what the logo to my publication could look like. I have tried to look at some different colours, the colours are fairly bright my thinking here is i would like the text to be quite high contrast to contrast with the images I would like to use, images by the photographer Lee Jeffries, the pictures are all black and white.
