This is a magazine cover that I had to construct in Photoshop. It took me 3 tries to figure out what was best. I eventually made a cover based on my thoughts. The things written are things that my uncle said that I will never forget. Now I go to share them with the world. The excerpts on the left side mean to take life carefully and go by taking baby steps. The chess set in the background is a visualization of what my uncle tells me and how to think about life in a sense. The thought for the photographs came to life through the picture of Malcolm X sitting at the window thinking. The graphic design looks as though it has a deeper meaning than implied until you read the pages. This is how I came to reconstruct the magazine project and construct My Deep Thoughts Magazine.
