Cover Plan

   Hey!! SO I finally have been able to start with my cover. (My pictures were not downloading or sending to my email, but after a few days I got it to send and already have all my images downloaded to my computer). I am doing fashion so I am hoping this cover will look very professional and sleek like other fashion magazines, including the one I did my research on (W magazine) . I plan to not use much anchorage that will over populate the cover page since I see many magazines, like W or Dazed, which use very little and leave the main focus on the image portrayed. I have also drawn some sketches of my cover.

   I finally decided that for my cover page I would like to include all three of us ( me and my two friends), because that way I could then use all those pictures where 2 plus people are featured. It has been a struggle though. The picture which I want to use comes out a bit foggy due to the glare of the sun in the back and as much as I edit it on Photoshop or Facetune ( I made the photo have more detail and be sharper on both Facetune and Photoshop and also lowered the brightness setting on my own camera settings.) it has been a bit hard to remove that blurry effect that is very small, but still makes the picture not come off on InDesign as high quality. Of course I have some plan B photos that do not have this issue but I feel the outfits we have on in the photo I am talking about are so much nicer and less casual for a fashion magazine. I still have not given up yet and will try to see if maybe removing the background on Photoshop can help me edit the figures better and finally be at a quality where I can use for my cover. 

   Also here are the potential headlines I came up with on my notes (If you see a space between some words it's because I have been thinking of giving us a cute trio name) :

  •      Girls Take Over The Fashion World
  • Exclusive Interview With The      Girls
  • Style Guide
  • Into The World of     
  • 7 Summer Looks
  • Teenage Fever
  • Names of people featured on bottom
  • The New Wave of Style
  • Feeling Pink
Down below I will show the original and some of the photos that are edited and my sketches:

FINAL PRODUCT: MUSE

Image
FINALLY!!!!! Everything is done and I could not be happier with the results. This process has been a a very long one, but I have learned a lot along the way. I bettered my skill in the editing realm using applications such as, Photoshop, InDesign, and Facetune. I found out what it is like to run a photo shoot and how it is not as glamorous as it seems. Nothing throughout the making of this magazine was easy, but it was all very rewarding to see the final product and watch it all come together as I put each piece together. Overall, this was a very fun project that I enjoyed doing and the magazine looks just how I pictured it.  COVER:  TABLE OF CONTENTS: FEATURE SPREAD:

Table of Contents Plan:

Image
  For my table of contents I feel it will be easier... I hope. When I did my research on W magazine I noticed that their table of contents is usually two pages, so that is what I will be doing. I also will not use much images, due to how table of contents in fashion images usually have 1-4 images. The headlines I will use are going to be similar to the ones W magazine uses ( Fashion + Features, Who"s Next, What's Hot, Beauty, and Departments). What goes under these headlines will be typical things that magazines feature. For instance, " Top 10 accessories" or " "Latest Trends". I plan to include the credits for who took the pictures for each "page" I place on the table of contents. I do not want to make random names or use the same name for each "photographer" so I will use my friends name, since I think they have been so helpful during this process, in the sense that they have helped me narrow down some of my ideas, and I greatly a...

Table of Contents

   I finished my table of contents!!! I honestly thought this would be the easiest, but somehow I managed to take so long trying to make everything look right.I began with laying out the boxes on InDesign of where the photos will be placed and then input my headlines. I then began coming up with more titles to go under the headers other than the ones I already had in mind ( mentioned in my table of contents planning post) . Once I had everything set up I input the pictures and the writing and began just trying to make it proportional and look aesthetic. For the editing in my photos, I did the same process as I did for the images on my feature spread ( Used VSCO to make the images all work together and look cohesive, by adding a filter,changing the brightness, ad grain). I noticed that fashion magazines tend to include the month the issue is from so I included the date over the title, in a different font to differ it from the serif fonts that takes over the whole magazine. I ma...
