Magazine Covers - scamp copies

Objective

To further understand the part white space plays in a graphic artefact.

To become aware of how designers balance elements on a page.
Info: A 'scamp' is a first rough or mockup.

Task
Gather a range of front pages from different types of magazines. This can be via Pinterest or your own examples.

In your sketchbook, draw 24 front pages.

Look at your example and loosely sketch the page. Pay close attention to the light and dark tones—allow your brain to 'threshold' the greys into either light or dark tones. See my measly example above.
