Editorial magazine layout

For this project we were given four stories to chose from, we then had to interpret the one story that we chose and illustrate it. My idea for this brief was; even though these hipsters think that they cool in their own legue and trying to be so different from every one else they are still influenced by media and the latest trends. so for my images i took a photo of lee "him being my model" being hang by puppet strings and the hand which is the media is contolling the puppet and i drew these out, i originally was going to draw them  all neat. But the more i thought about i decided to go with a more rougher look , because when i think of hipsters i don’t see them as neat people, but more untidy.

When i started laying this out in indesign i really battled with trying to get the text in the correct place in relation to my illustrations since they were placed in an awkward places. And since there was an extra page to design for it made it even harder because i dint have alot of illustrations to work with and text. But lucky having chosen one small seed it was easier because there placing of work is very spacious.  I placed the heading and sub heading with the main image because there was less space on this page for the main text, the non the other two pages there was plenty of space as the images on these pages weresmall. 
for my 2 layout options i kept the images in the same place since i had to accommodate the strings of the puppets.
