The Images I only used 3 different images.
2 of them was my recent picture from the Snowball formal dance.
and the other was the GQ logo, which can be found here:

to summarize, I did many things on this image.
First, I carefully cropped Camden and myself from our formal pictures, and placed it in a blank transparent new image.
Then, to match GQ's style, I added a gray background and tried making our bodies blend in with the background seamlessly.
then I added the GQ logo and change the colours to match what we were wearing and the overall colour scheme of the magazine.
Finally, I then added some finishing touches, such as different article titles, and "hooks" in the GQ style. I went through many of these magazines in order to fully emulate what their style is.
For some text, I added some glows in order for some more clarity around the dark areas of the magazine. however, due to jpeg compression it seems like the text still looks a bit blurry still...
I chose GQ because I like their colour themes on their magazines. Also, I've seen quite a lot of celebrities that has been on the covers of GQ.
nice use of negitive space.
ReplyDeleteDesign - 4 Looks like a real magazine. Great colour scheme!
ReplyDeleteCreativity - 3.5 I wanted 5 images but you did a lot of image processing on the few that you chose to use.
Titles - 4 great use of colour and size with your titles. It really makes them pop-out.

Great magazine design. It appears that the Rick-Rolling continues!
