Magazine Cover



 
 
 


 
 
 
When I was creating my magazine I was going off of what I had imagined in my head, but the concepts that I had used from the article that I read, and applied to my magazine cover, was inspiration (which is Justin Bieber, he is my idol), planning in advance (hence the sketch), typography (I used two different fonts, and three different colors), and the last concept that I used was guides and templates (I surfed the web for some ideas on how the big shot magazine producers set up there magazine, and then used those ideas to create my magazine cover). Also when designing my cover I tried to incorporate things that tie back to Justin in some way, for example the masthead (Risky Business) people in the industry call Justin risky business because he puts his career on the line while producing music, also the first cover line (Justin Bieber from "baby" to "heartbreaker") relates to Justin because his style of music has changed over the years.

Branding Your Team (Logo)

In my sketches I mainly tried to stick with the name S.E.A.L.S (Swaggy, Extraterrestrial, Alien, Lemon-flavored, Students). While sketching these I was having difficulties with coming up with a logo. So I was working with an alien and a seal and created something having at least some characteristic of each individual. Personally my favorite is the last one because it's original, it's not to flashy or has to much detail, and because the eyes of the seal makes the logo stand out. When creating sketches I stayed on the originality line so anything that is done here wasn't taken from another artist. (I didn't create a logo on Photoshop).
