It took a while to find the perfect image for a front cover to my magazine. I had to make sure, colour wise, it was interesting to ensure that had a lot of colours to work and play with when it got to designing the headlines.
This is the image I took of a friend whilst at a house party. Originally, I had edited the background out of interest, but felt it didn't suit the magazin cover, so i cropped the image out.
This particular image included a lot of colours that i could work with. such as the Green and Purple, I felt that this allowed me to make my front cover more attractive.
The magazine i took inspirtation from was VIBE here is an example of one;
Here the colour RED has been used, and all together it works well.
I have colour coordinated the fonts according to the colours on this shirt.
I decided to name my Rap magazine 'Rap It Up'.
I thought I'd play around with the words, and create something that is easy to remember and something my target audience would immediently understand.
I explored different fonts on the website and came across one here;
I then manipulated the text on photoshop, and came up with a intersting effect.
The rough effect that it has related to the world of Rap, and i felt that it was perfect to do this as the title is stil legible. Looking through current magazines, in Vibe, they usually have a fade on the title, this is something i took inspiration from and included in my own title.
I asked a few people in he class of their opinion, and this is what there feedback was;
'It looks different from other magazines, so if i saw it i would immediately spot what magazine it was'
'It looks really decorative without being illegible, it is also attractive to it almost becomes a bland name, that you could maybe futher develop onto tshirts, cd's and so on....'
I decided to include some of my favourite youtube rappers, as it was from them that i got the inpiration to do 'Rap' on...
