In this project we were told to design a magazine cover of yourself. We had to choose something we liked to do or our future careers. The title,background, and pictures had to be 8 x 10 and with a resolution of 300 pixels. We had to choose a topic in order to get a actual magazine name on google.com. After we chose our magazine name we took a picture of our selfs with appropriate attire for our magazine. Then we had to cut and paste our picture to our photoshop document. After we had our picture and magazine name we needed a barcode ( also taken out of google.com ) and captions/headlines. We can choose all kinds of fancy fonts and colors. Finally, we can add any shadings or additional effects to make our magazine cove look realistic.
My magazine cover is about soccer. It has a soccer field in the background. There's also 2 white nets on the background. I am standing by one of them. I am standing with one hand on my waist and my opposite foot is on a white,black, & yellow soccer ball. My magazine is called "Sports" with a yellow colored font. The main colors on my magazine cover is black,yellow, and green.
Throughout my magazine I was trying to get threw that soccer is not only a guys sport. Its unisex , both guys and girls. There is a lot of women in the world that are great soccer players, who make it to being pro-athletes. Some are even payed by coaches to play in their teams. As props i used a soccer ball and a soccer field. I represent all the women in the world who play soccer.
I personally think i could of done better. I could of actually wore soccer attire so i could of looked more of a soccer player. I could of also included more writting in my cover , so it can look like a real magazine. I think thats the only 2 things that bothered me and made me feel insecure of my project. Other than that I think my project was a descent piece of work. It wasent my bestest but what matters is i atleast gave it a try.
