I look to magazine editor Anna Wintour for her creativity and leadership when making vogue, which is one of the most influential fashion publications in the world. Her strong visual direction and attention to the tiniest details have been crucial in creating covers for magazines and layouts that are both stylish and impactful. Her work inspired my repurposed magazine as i wanted my front cover to be bold and grab the readers attention. Anna Wintour has taught me that strong visual communication is important which is why i used it in my contents page of my Jamilah magazine by making my images and text easy to navigate.
I look to the filmaker Ryan Coogler who directed Black panther fo his powerful storytelling and visual creativity. Black panthers scene are designed to reflect the culture, technology and identity of Wakanda, creating a world that is both realistic and inspiring. Ryan Cooglers work influences my own projectsbas i try to use visual and design decisions to communicate meaning and engage my audience. Ryan Cooglers attention to detail influences my creative decisions supporting my overall message. This is applied in my magazine and contents page by the way I place my text and images.
