Magazine Cover Process

-
The process of creating the magazine cover took various steps:
First I did a photo shoot while selecting the model and mise-en-scene I had to keep in mind my magazine's genre: "success". As a result, I chose Ernesto Pedroso as my model and exhibited a photoshoot of money and success. We used gold chains and high-end brand clothes to further show the success standard.

 After placing it in photoshop it was time to edit and highlight the term "success". I gave the picture a black and white gradient in order to create the gold and money color contrast. Not only so used vibrant gold colors to illustrate the main articles headline in the front.

 After that, it was time to name the magazine. After much thought, I came up with the name "Flip Dinero", which stands for bilingual money flipping term to illustrate the abundance of success. This was the masthead. One which I applied a stroke style and placed behind the model to meet a similar style to my mirrored magazine "Forbes".

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.

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 attra

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.
