DO NOW: take out your notebook and a pen.

PROJECT: Magazine cover design

Challenge: Design a magazine cover using Adobe Photoshop. Your magazine cover will be based off of an existing magazine. You can choose which magazine but it has to work with the images that are provided. You will be able to create your own cover lines.

You will be provided with the photos for the cover. These photos will need retouching. You will use the various retouching tools to fix the image in order for it to be on the cover.

Magazine cover requirements:

You must have:

1. A background color that compliments all text and imagery

2. A cover photo (will be provided)

3. A Masthead

4. 1 Main Cover Line and 3 additional Cover Lines

5. Dateline: (Issue date and issue price)

6. Your magazine cover will be graded on if you included the above elements and how you carry out unity in your magazine cover.

Magazine cover requirements:

A good cover needs to accomplish four things:

1.Identify the personality of the magazine.

2.Attract the target audience

3.Lure the reader into the magazine

4.Establish a visual identity (consistent use of format)

TODAY:

Research popular magazine covers. Choose which magazine you would like to use and begin sketching.
