Cover Photo Shoot and Reflection

-
The cover photo shoot took place in the school thanks to the model Ernesto Pedroso. We built a mise-en-scene around the "success" mindset. This meant showing extravagance and wealth within one picture. Thus, we used gold chains, dollar bills, and high-end brand clothes and fashion style to fit the scene. Not only so, but we must also decide between a euphoric wealth or a serious businessman look. Ultimately the businessman looks better to fit the image and thus we applied it. The shoot took around an hour taking in mind we had to find multiple gold chains and real dollar bills. 




We used a white background for easier editing capability and to integrate a shadow behind the model replicated in the Forbes magazine. It was essential to have a one-man-show for the cover for maximum similarity to the Forbes Magazine. Because of my lack of skills and limit of InDesign ability ideas which i took from Money Magazine I could not do. For example, Money Magazine used a variety of fonts and color schemes which I was unable to replicate. Lastly I recommend further students to download fonts and material colors from the internet for best look.

Table of Contents

x The Table of contents was mirrored from one of the highest praised magazine's in the world, Money Magazine. Money Magazine has an issue where they used a border around the main background color, I resembled this while adding a gold background and a texture to the background. This was not only for it to fit the magazine's genre but also for a unique trait to the magazine. Furthermore, Money Magazine also uses a large image to represent "Money", in this case, a clip art. In order to further exemplify a unique trait of Flip Dinero, I made these symbols cars. This is because it shows high value and a design like no other. Moreover, The large numbers attract the reader's attention as they standout by the white. I decided to make the title of the page reflect for another unique trait of having a complete spread table of contents. This illustrates a larger and more complex magazine when it comes to business and money.

Mood Board Project Analysis

Dissecting typography, images, unity, and colors while constructing a mood board! "Reflective project analyzing the millennial 'American Woman'!" “American Woman” contextualizes the stereotypical millennial female; while concurrently depicting the thought-provoking, experimental and impetuous mindset in today's youth. The contrast and divergence in color lure the reader; an exuberant scarlet red, embellished by the canary yellow, eclipsing the retro black, accentuates on the symbolization of time. A strategic choice of color juxtaposing the more classical era and twenty-first century’s perpetual exploratory psychology. The disunity of dynamic colors on the right, correlated to a more feeble palette on the left reinstates the evident partition between time. A rouge pink on a raven black gives insight to the dark rock'n'roll age, and rhythmic manifestation at the time. The utilization of a more condensed, bold, vibrant sans-serif font family as the...

Photo shoot Planning

While planning for the photo shoot i decided to draw the cover out. I planned the subject to be over the masthead,thus, showing the importance of the business figure. In order for the masthead to not be unnoticed I decided to style it with the Photoshop design, "stroke". I plan to use Ernesto Pedroso for the photo shoot, and he will be modeling as a powerful, rich businessman. Not only so, in order to show this he will use be wearing 3 gold chains and a polo sweatshirt as expensive clothes. He will also show his money power by holding dollar bills in his hand. A serious face will illustrate his powerful and respectful image, and emphasize his role in the magazine. Lastly, i will place the bar code on the left of the cover and the header in the bottom right corner over the figure to pop-out as the most important article.
