Magazine Cover

For this assignment we were told that we had to make a magazine cover. This cover had to be based on what we wanted to do when we grow up. First Mrs. Wiegand told us to fill out a worksheet. On the worksheet we had to think of good headlines that would attract our audience and make them want to read our magazine. Then we had to sketch rough drafts of what we might want our magazine cover to look like. Then we took pictures and began designing our magazines.

My magazine is Essence magazine. I'm on the cover magazine for being a psychologist. The background of my magazine is sky blue with a head shot of me on it. The lettering in dark purple and a darker shade of blue.

On my magazine cover I tried to show that i wanted to be a successful psychologist. I tried to communicate this by putting a headline that said, "Famous psychologist writes award winning book". I also wanted people to know the magazine was about peoples success by putting other headlines that gave tips about money and other success stories.

I don't really like my magazine cover. It looks good enough to pass as a magazine cover. If i could improve I would have a better picture. I would also take more time on the project.
