In this session, we focused on the front covers of a magazine and aimed to create our own designs.
In the fashion industry, magazine covers are extremely important as they are what is immediately presented to the audience. The front cover is meant to express a certain message and it holds powerful communication between the editors and the consumers. Brands tend to experiment with different subjects that are put onto the front cover, for example, an important matter, distinctive concepts etc. Therefore, to be able to communicate visually, the designs are meant to be strong. Typography, photographs, text, layout are all key features when it comes to designing a front cover as they can create different atmospheres and meanings. Some successful magazine covers tend to provoke a certain narrative and push the reader to consider different things.
Based on our research and analysis of the two magazines, we aim to create 3 different covers that would be relevant to the specific brand. After understanding the concept behind i-D magazine, I created three covers that follow the same theme with one eye closed. I had a lot of fun experimenting and creating them as I really enjoy playing with the typography and layout, as well as designing the magazine-related content.
