Magazine Cover

This is a simulated magazine cover I designed in the poster style because I prefer a clean, uncluttered format. The cover image is a composite of my face, (several of them, actually), and a photo of Marlene Deitrick, sans Marlene. Once the image came together it was just a matter of selecting the fonts I wanted to work with and experimenting with different fx to enhance the magazine's theme. I kept the cover lines simple and symmetrical to keep the focus on the image. I have always found black and white photos capable of creating the most striking visual effects. The red makes the image pop, and is a classic compliment to the black and white combination.
