Passion magazine front cover.

I created this front cover for a high-end fashion magazine I have named 'Passion' as in 'Passion for Fashion'. I researched different fashion magazines and what fonts were most popular. In the end I went for Garamond in bold.

 

 I chose to write in white because the background picture of Victoria Beckham is quite dark and white stands out. I also used purple and brown because of the different background colours. I don't think that the purple worked very well because it is quite difficult to read. The brown writing for the price stands out less which is what I wanted. People should be attracted by the cover itself and contents, not the price.

I got a lot of inspiration from 'Vogue' magazine. This is why I decided to use one staple image for my cover. The anchorage title says, 'Sometimes I'm so busy, I forget to take a break.' It was supposed to be a quote I created from Victoria Beckham.

Also I have added a bar code, date and issue number to make my cover look more realistic and professional. I chose a separate font for the masthead because that's usually how magazines look. Also the masthead is a sort of logo and would be what people remember, so a certain font could remind them of my magazine when they see it or are trying to find it.

I put in a couple of sell lines and the buzz word 'NEW' to attract customers.

I am quite pleased with my finished product. There are a few small changes I would make if I were to do it again, however overall I am happy with the way it looks.
