Mock Cover Idea












































I got a picture of Rihanna that I really liked the pose of because it looks extemely proffesional, and I made it big so it took up most of the cover because I thought that the magazine with a bigger picture and less writing looks more proffesional and simple. I used the title that I liked best from my font ideas and I put it behind the image because it looked better than in front of the image as when it was in front the image didn't stand out how I wanted it to do. I did the cutting out of Rihanna on photoshop and dragged it to the white background, after already putting the masthead on. I then chose some fonts that I liked, which were all different, but all worked well together and wrote cover lines. There was one issue with this because photoshop wouldn't let me change the colour of the fonts so therefore I couldn't get a proper idea of what it would look like with my colours, although it looks really good in black and white. I then added a barcode and wrote the date really small next to it,  as I didn't want it overpowering my cover. Overall this has given me inspiration to have a big picture and less writing and also to use more handwritten fonts because they make the magazine looks more visual. It has also helped me learn how to use photoshop.
