Magazine cover design reflection
Our first assignment in my period 2 graphic design classes was to create a magazine cover and put ourselves on the front. We were told to be creative and also to put a reason why we were on the cover of the magazine. The first step I took to complete this project was to figure out why I was going to be on the cover. Then after I figured out my different topics that related to my reason for being on the cover after that it was a breeze.
My magazine cover has a picture of me standing next to the Eiffel tower in Paris. It also has the different captions of articles that would be in the magazine. My article is a picture of me wearing a orange dress. The background is a picture of the Eiffel tower in black and white. There are different titles that explain what the articles on the inside of the magazine will be about. I faded the text out in black and white so that they stand out more and captivate the audience.
My magazine is all about advice. I have many friends that come to me for advice but not everybody has someone to come to for advice or even like to discuss their problems. Also mostly teenagers, mostly seek advice so I targeted the teenage to be my audience. I choose to do my magazine cover in black and white because I felt like it made it look more realistic that people can relate to. I also put a fun picture.
I think that overall I did a good job. I was creative and open minded about the project. I feel like this project was a good way to express ourselves and show who we are.
