Research: Integrating the Cover Lines

-

    




    While I was much happier with how my new cover page was turning out and thought it was looking great, I was struggling with the conflict that while the cover page was looking too empty to me, at the same time I was not sure how to integrate the cover lines without it looking too awkward or without it looking like it was being lost in the background.

    I began researching magazine covers online to see how they integrated their cover lines, so I could take inspiration and work it into my cover page. Eventually, I found this cover page and saw what they did, and thought it could work well for my cover page. I thought what they did with the cover lines was simple and that it was something I could easily take inspiration from for my cover page.

    So I began integrating my cover lines into this draft of the cover page based on what the other magazine cover did: I had my three cover lines, all one on top of each other, they were separated by lines, and the three texts were aligned to the right. But with this I also took some liberties of my own as well: I added page numbers below each cover line, I had them separated by red lines, and I had the texts have black backgrounds so they could stand out, be more visually pleasing, and not fade get lost into the background of the cover image.

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...
