So... this week I decided to spend my class time working on designing some potential covers for my magazine. My goal for the cover is to keep it simple yet very appealing to the eye.
This is the first cover that I created. I put a stock photo in place of where my original picture will go until I photograph my models. With this cover I was going for a green theme, which will also be reoccurring throughout my entire magazine. I also like how this photo includes a plant, which I also plan on using within my photo. I think that the plant really helps bring out the whole "Go Green" vibe. After looking at the cover idea for a while, I went ahead and changed to masthead to one line instead of two. This is what I came up with.
Once I changed the masthead to one line, I also bolded it. I think that this makes the masthead stand out much more and is way more eye catching. I also went ahead and changed the font of the cover lines to make them a little more simplistic and clean looking. I think I like this font much better than the previous one. After those changes I sat back and looked at the cover again for a while and I still felt like it was missing something. I felt like maybe it was too plain so I decided to do this.
I think that adding the green under the masthead helps it stand out and also adds more color to the overall cover. I also plan on adding a bar code to the bottom left hand corner. I really like this layout for my cover. I will most likely play around with a couple more layouts, but I really like this one.
So until next time!
XOXO, Sophie
