"Dade-School's Hacker" spread

-
Today's Society is driven by technology and the internet. Those who control or understand technology can become the most powerful and at times the richest individuals in the world. I interviewed a young man whose talent has allowed for the unveiling of the Miami-Dade Schools system. He is a 17 year old hacker from Miami Senior High. I designed a photo shoot that resulted in these pictures:


I then took these photos to Photoshop were In darkened them and created a gray scale filter. This gave it the ominous and "Hacker look".
Furthermore, I added the final edited picture to the spread. Working on the color scheme i decided to continue the ominous look with the black toned background and white letters. The article discussed the hackers accomplishments and the corruption at the school level. Not only so, I included the individual's quote and used the ongoing "gold" color scheme. I used a drop cap to emphasize the word "Hacker", this attracts the readers and emphasizes the articles content. Lastly, I designed the page number with a line over it to show a canceled, hidden, and connection to the hackers scratched eyes for "unknown". Overall I tried to keep the anonymous yet powerful scheme of the magazine.

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.

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.
