When you see a magazine in the super market, or a book in the library, maybe it catches your attention. Maybe you stop and read it, or check it out or buy it.
What catches your attention?
- There's usually the magazine name in bold letters at the top,
- and a significant, flashy picture that covers most of the page.
-
Somewhere, down from the name of the magazine, you'll also find captions that show several of the main articles in that issue of the magazine.
- As well, usually close to the name of the magazine is the date and/or issue of the magazine.
- There is usually a good balance of colors that work together, with lights and darks highlighting certain things, and color changes that still work with the basic design drawing attention to good articles inside.
- There is also an element of balance where the dominant image balances off the eye catching magazine title.
Your job is to create a cover for a fictional magazine that incorporates the elements listed above.
