Magazine Cover Process (Continued)

-
After a masthead, a magazine must attract the reader. I decided to incorporate words that describe my magazines content at the hope of intriguing people. 
 Words such as "entrepreneur", "fortune", and "success" all help symbolize what "Flip Dinero" is about.
To further attract attention, I placed a quote from the successful model, a feature used by Forbes almost always, which shows advice and insight at the young man's story.

To further mirror Forbes as an example, I placed a barcode on the bottom left corner and applied a shadow background. Both features specific and stable in all Forbes issues, a great component to a successful magazine.

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.

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.

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.
