magazine

This quarters culminating project was to create a magazine cover that reflects on what my career goals are. I was told to make the magazine cover look as real as possible and a variety of steps were tooken to complete this task. At first i decided what magazine title does my career relate to and i then chose a background that suits my headlines and title as well as my picture. In addition i then took a picture that had to do with my topic which was a writer. I processed the image and then cut it out using photoshop to paste on my cover. Finally i selected headlines that grabs the audience attention and described me as a person.

 I chose a time magazine logo which is outlined in red. I used the blending options to create a unique style of font in the headlines. I chose the color blue for the font because it complemented my cardigan in my picture. My background contained a close up of a open book with a sepia color. I rotated my picture to give the cover a little edge to it and i added my barcode to complete the magazine.

In my magazine i tried to communicate various meanings such as my body language. My body language showed a side of me being that i want to be a writer i posed my way. I also show how the colors of the headline related to my picture i didn't want my magazine to be as plain and red like any ordinary time magazine. I used my touch of creativity and other options such as the blending itself to capture attention.

I feel satisfied with my artwork although i could have done way better. I managed to use what i have and work with it. I could have chosen props to make the cover a bit more interesting. Other then that i think i did fair on this magazine project.
