MAGAZINE RESEARCH / HALLUCINATE

 Hi,

In this blog, I will be posting about the research I have done into the magazines that inspired me while creating my covers.

DAZED

This is a magazine that I have always liked because it really speaks to people my age and talks about everything that we could be interested in music, culture, fashion, media... I have also been inspired by this magazine for my last term Fashion editorial. So, here are a few pictures that inspired me for my first finished cover. 

The main aspect of the DAZED magazine that inspired me was how the headline is presented it is big yet so simple which really attracts people my age so, I also wanted to create something similar to this headline.

Another magazine that I looked at and inspired me is the PAPER magazine which is, again a magazine that speaks to people my age.

You can again see the big headline which is clear and simple but still manages to get the attention by the size of it. Another aspect that I got inspired from and used on my own magazine cover is the way they put the celebrity name on the bottom and added a short text to it. Also, adding the country it is published underneath the headline.

While doing my research on how to set up my magazine text's I also looked at how people posed for magazines with the attention on the make-up and face. So, I looked at a few magazines and found a magazine in which Kourtney Kardashian posed for Vogue which is a very similar pose that I used for my own cover. 

I used this as an inspiration and posed with my eyes closed. this way it could really focus on my eye make-up and still being able to see other aspects.
