The Cover #1

While creating and adapting the cover of my magazine in InDesign I got in a couple hiccups along the way. One of them included the title of the cover since in previous renditions of my cover conceived the idea that my title, "Opulence & Grandeur", will be black in color; however, I wanted my cover to represent a divide between light and dark. The dark portions of the cover caused me to change the color to one that is more prominent and can be seen: white with an outline of black.

I also wanted to darken the cover a little more so I used InDesign's software to darken the image.

Using the prior knowledge of my magazine's genre that I studied beforehand, I produced a headline that would catch the eyes of young entrepreneurs or at least young individuals wanting to turn their lives for the better. Following the cover line, I produced anchorage text for my audience: individuals, white males, will be reading my magazine need to know what the magazine that they are wielding is going to be about.

Following the codes and convection of my magazine genre, I used Times New Roman as the font for the cover; the created headline is similar to ones that are within other magazines under my genre because my cover contains the stylistic nature- fonts, colors, and the image itself-of a magazine within my genre with this particular headline.

After creating the cover, I decided to hide the frames and guides to make the cover look sleek and clean, finalizing the cover.
