Practice Fashion Magazine Front Cover

Practice front cover
As a practice before doing my actual task i decided to design and create a draft of a fashion magazine front cover. I tried to make it look as similar to a professional fashion magazine as possible. Using the same layout as most magazines and themed colours.

Genre
The magazine was aimed at young adults as most of the captions are more suited to a younger generation. Because of the colours and fonts of the magazine and the type of magazine it is, it is mostly aimed at females.

Iconography
For the background i decided to use young female adults posing and at the same time modelling clothing and jewellery too as to stay in theme with the magazine. The background was my own photograph, it is a medium long shot of two girls. I thought a medium long shot was appropriate for the magazine as then you can see most of the clothes they are modelling. But using two girls between the ages of 17-19 it clearly shows who the target audience is.
Analysis
To keep everything in tone with each other, i decided to use colours which compliment each other. Looking at other fashion magazines i noticed that they repeatedly used three main colours. I decided to use Pink, Black and White. Because the theme of the magazine were these colours i thought it was a good idea to use these colours on the clothes the models were wearing so then the magazine completely compliments everything. When it came to choosing the fonts and layout i decided to make it all different. Using different fonts created a creative look i found. I tried to then replicate the layout of the captions and headings as similar to professional magazines.
