First Spread Feature Photo Shoot

Image
During the spread feature, I decided to give the story of a young tech leader in our school, Carlos Gomez. Due to his background and is known for hacking, I developed a mise-en-scene around the term. I used multiple devices, a monitor or desktop to how ad advanced hacking while also using a laptop to show possible router or camera "snooping". Not only so, but the model also had to have a serious, ominous look in order to represent the public view of a hacker. Lastly, I kept most of the background in mind to add and experiment with dark, ominous filters and animosity n photoshop.

First Spread Feature Process

Image
During the editing of the first spread image, I had to keep in mind 3 terms: animosity, ominous and technology.  I developed the term "animosity" by using a long rectangle covering the model's eyes, as face recognition is done through the eyes. Furthermore, the ominous mood was developed by the use of the filter, "Conte Crayon", which applies a black and white gradient with a scratched surface; giving the image a scary and dangerous look. Lastly, technology was developed through the use of a Dell Desktop monitor, usually the go-to for hackers, and a fast 360x HP as hacking tools for Carlos Gomez's success.

Typography

I will be using Franklin Gothic Demi as the masthead but will implement a "stroke" style to the in order to make it stand out as the dominant typography at 300px. Also I will use GIGI for the background synonyms of money behind the model. This font allows for a futuristic and business rich atmosphere to the figure. Not only so, they will appear as from his back, thus, appearing as his. Furthermore, The Gothic title will show "MILLIONAIRE & SEVENTEEN" shows the main title and article of the magazine and attract the readers. Lastly, I used the color "Gold" to highlight the words with the most power in order to emphasize their relation to the articles and allow for small hints into the magazine for the leaders. Not only will these words attract the readers interest.

Magazine Cover Process

Image
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 ...
