Magazine Project

Magazine Assignment

You have learned some very useful tools and features of Adobe Photoshop by now. Now it's time to apply both your newly learned skills and the knowledge we've been learning in class discussions. In this project, you will apply the Elements and Principles of Design to create an original, attractive magazine cover. 

Choose your favorite magazine and create a magazine cover like it in Photoshop. Add a picture or two of the typical cover images this magazine would use - these could be products or famous people. Be sure your images are clean and attractive and not pixelated. The size of the project will be 7.25 width x 10.25 height in inches with 300 resolution. 

Find a magazine logo online.  Do a search for a magazine that you would like to be on.   For example: "Rolling Stone magazine logo png". All other text must be created by you.

Next, select a few appropriate fonts and add headlines to your magazine cover. Must use one layer style on your font.  Be sure to practice unity, balance, emphasis, and proportion!

As you work, save your project as a .psd and name it last name + first initial +magazine.psd. When you are finished, save it again as a JPEG with the same name

The More Realistic the better!!!
