Making the Cover Page: First Draft

-

    

     Now that I had taken the pictures, it was time to begin making the cover page, using the cover page I mentioned in one of my previous blogs as an inspiration. Based on what I knew about how magazine front covers typically looked, I started making a first-draft magazine cover with the color palette I chose and started experimenting with the pictures and colors to see which combination would work best.
    I really wanted one of the pictures taken of the movie theater seats to be the main cover image, but when I was importing the images into the template, it was not looking good to me, I felt that none of the pictures that included the movie theater seats were working well with the text, no matter what colors I was applying to the text or what stroke or shapes I was using with the text.
    So I had to start looking for a different image for the cover and imported this picture of the walkway of one of the auditoriums in the theater and I found much more success with it, helping me to create this first draft for my magazine cover page. I gave the master head a stroke and put the main cover line along with the other cover lines with dark-colored backgrounds so it stands out from the image and is more visible.

I felt that the title font should look modern, good while capitalized, and devoid of looking formal, such as cursive fonts or fonts with serifs. As I indicated, one of the focuses with the title font was that it looked good while being capitalized, and this is because I intended on making the title fully capitalized, so the font had to look natural at this aspect as if it was meant to be...
