Connor's Mag

First I decided to post a cover of Vogue because the magazine that I am working on for the assignment is is going to be mocking some of the stylistic attributes as well as some of the content but swayed in the favor of the "Bro" community. The technique of sticking to two or three fonts and two or three colors on the cover, similar layout, and very similar font/logo for the mast head. As for the fusion of the two target markets for the magazine below I posted a GQ to the right which would resemble the content of my final product, yet still mocking the style of Vogue.

I picked this because clear and basic headings and the use of multiple typefaces, yet still keeping a unified look.

Mari's Magazine Style

When we first got this assignment, this magazine immediately popped into my head for two reasons; [1] because it'd been on my mind a lot lately and [2] because I really admire the artistic drive behind each issue.  The magazine is a good blend of keeping readers in the know about current games and related things, and also taking the time to make sure that the issue has aesthetic merit.  For that, I hope to model my own magazine around the same principles - while delivering to a slightly older demographic (Game Informer aims for mostly males ages 18 to 34).  The cover of my magazine will also exhibit an illustration that corresponds with a new video game.  The colors will be a bit warmer this issue example though.  However, I want to keep the clean look of the magazine layout - Game Informer tries not to clutter their cover illustrations - by minimizing the presence of the article previews on the cover.

Carolina's Magazine

This magazine follows basically the same subject matter as I'm looking at for my magazine. I hope to make my design more aesthetically pleasing to draw in the more general public as well as scientifically minded. I think I will be using the reddish-orange (or cool blues) color palette though, which is a common theme throughout scientific magazine's I've looked at. 

Megan's Magazine Cover

I picked this cover to submit because it is very similar to the direction I want to take mine in.  I want to do a high fashion magazine for liberal women in their mid-30s, but take that high fashion and make it applicable to their daily lives. My plans for the cover are to have a picture of a female model with a simple background just like this one.  I plan on having the headlines form around the model, with the magazine title slightly hidden behind the model.

Andrea's Magazine Cover

I'm currently trying to choose between a variety of styles for my cover, but here is one. I really like how Vogue (or in this case, Vogue Korea) uses type in relation to the cover. I also like how they used color in this particular cover. It is very simple palette--black and white with a red accent.

Kim's magazine

This magazine is similar to the magazine I am designing. It has a lot of the same ideas- magazine for mothers in their mid thirties that discusses cooking, cleaning, children, and self-improvement. My image for my cover will either be of a woman (like this) or of a home setting (kitchen, garden, etc). The only difference between this magazine and mine is that I am taking a "green" spin on mine, focusing on how to "go green" at home.
