Magazine Cover

This is my finished magazine cover that I created in the fall of 2013 at Kapa'a Middle School. We had a little photo session in class where we got into pairs and were given a digital camera and told to take pictures of each other. Next, chose the picture that we wanted to be the cover of our magazine. A lot of planning was involved in this process; we made a practice magazine cover in our digital sketchbook that included a color scheme, title, and headlines. We even used a Color Scheme Designer to plan out our analogous color scheme. 

Then, we used the brush tool on photoshop to trace our picture and color the contour in. To make our headlines stand out, we learned how to make text boxes and how to apply effects onto them. We made our magazine seem even more realistic by adding characteristics of a real magazine like barcodes, prices, dates, and editions.
