My cover page idea!

Welcome back!

 Since my last blog post I have been doing more research for my magazine and focusing specifically on the cover page. I was really thinking about what I want my cover page to look like and how I can make it relate to my two page spread. I also want to make sure that my cover page is as inviting and attention-grabbing as possible.

I was brainstorming ideas for my cover story and I thought it would be really cool if I did something like " 10 Go Green products to amp up your daily routine", or something along those lines. Basically I think it will be really creative to combine the idea of a green makeup look as the cover for St. Patrick's Day with the idea of a "Go Green" cover story.

 I decided to go with this because I find that in a lot of makeup magazines, the cover photo is more just a model with a cool makeup look, rather than a photo that actually has to do with the main story within the magazine. I am going to combine this by having my model wear a cool makeup look, while also having it do with the main story within my magazine.


 I have also started thinking about my model. After reviewing many different cover pages I think that the photo I want to create will look best with a pale model with lighter hair. I also think that a pale model will help the green eyeshadow I plan on doing stand out. Here are some of the magazine covers I have been looking at to take inspiration from.

I love the way that the makeup stands out on the pale model and I think this is something that I am definitely going to do.

I plan on starting to play around with different makeup looks very soon as I just ordered a new eyeshadow palette with some cool green shades that I am thinking about using. Here is the palette.

Anyways, I will keep you updated on the different looks that I create once I receive the palette in the mail!

So until next time!
