Photo Magazine Cover Creation

Magazine Cover creation

         To start off, for my magazine cover I decided to use a picture I took of AJ at a staircase wearing his brand's shirt. In addition, this makes it the perfect cover page to talk about my most important story too, UNPHASED. UNPHASED is a clothing brand started by a 15 year old kid who designs his own clothes.   
         Furthermore, in creating this cover I went into Photoshop first to create my title. I created my title on photo shop instead of indesign because it's much easier to make a banner or font on photoshop than it is indesign. I used the text tool to simply create the text itself as a base. Not to mention I used Century Gothic font in order to fit the theme of the main story of the magazine, and also added shadow and strokes to give it more of that Gothic feel. 
       Moreover, I added sad faces to the title to also fit the theme of the main story as well.
    Correspondingly, in my magazine planning I had talked about how I wanted to base my magazine on VICE. By doing so, I placed my Title at the top left not really focusing on my title but more on the picture that's on the cover with as little text as possible to really emphasis the main story.

Magazine Altogether

Magazine Cover       For my Magazine Cover, I took a picture of AJ (Owner of UNPHASED) as the cover from the bottom of the stairs to show how he is at the bottom of his career and is slowly making his way to the top. Additionally, I used VICE as a base for my magazine since i'm a fan of their magazine and the way they format it. They have a simple cover with just their normal title with bizarre cover pictures like my cover showing a random teenager with purple camouflage pants, who could this be? Moreover, there is a direct mode of address at the bottom left to let the reader know what the main cover issue will be about. This was done to address to the younger audience that enjoys knowing whats to come but only having a sneak peak.       Furthermore, I also changed the saturation on the trees to put emphasis on the green of the trees and also hue of the sky to emphasize the beautiful day outside that day, it also helped contrast the green of the ...

Photo Editing

Photo Editing        To start off, I worked wanted to work on a little photo editing with one of the pictures I took from the UNPHASED Photoshoot. I picked this picture in particular to tell a story and I basically edited the photo to become my Magazine Cover.       My first editing procedure was to change the saturation on the grass to make the greens more vivid, and the hue in the sky's to make the blue's more vibrant. This change allows the picture overall to emphasize the nature around AJ and the beautiful scenery he's surrounded by.      My next step on photo editing was the cover title, I made the title use Century Gothic font and put my own spin on the AGE OF DECADENCE logo for this specific issue of the magazine to fit the main issue of the magazine that's covering UNPHASED. I made the photo cover standalone in Photoshop by creating a blank new Photoshop document and edited the text and made the shadow on the text more ...

Photo Shoot Planning

Photo Shoot Planning       To start off,  I was thinking of going to Little Havana for my photo shoot. Little Havana is a place thriving with Cuban culture and the youth walking around and causing trouble. In Little Havana there is a lot of graffiti and I wanted to do a story on the graffiti of Dwayne Wade outside the shop of Primo's Smoke Shop, I want to take a picture of it and write about whys and the whats about it.       Additionally, I'm also planning on taking pictures of this Presidente grocery store that has a picture of all the people that have been caught stealing, while in the act since this helps to provide an article for a local grocery store and what methods they implemented to deter further criminals. This also helps with targeting towards my audience since my magazine is called Age of Decadence and targets towards adults who want to see how our society and culture is dying; nonetheless, I also will have in my magazi...
