Hey blogger fam...... view my new magazine that i designed in graphic design and photo....hope yhu like it i worked really hard......and be sure to leave a comment...thanks and ill be back soon showing of my next peice of art
Hello my name is Jamal Roberts and I am going to tell you how I ended up on the cover o vibe magazine. I actually made this magazine myself in a graphic design and photo class. We learned a lot about Photoshop and how to make something so little into a amazing piece of art, and I plan to tell you all about it. First, we had to select a magazine that we wanted to be on and then we had to open two pages in Photoshop and use all our different tools [lasso tool. Magic wand, text box, etc.] and boy was it confusing, but I did it. I chose to be on the cover of vibe magazine because I think it really expresses me. Then we was told to edit the original photo to make it our own, so step by step I am going to tell you what I did.
My magazine cover is very expressive. It has a brick background and I am posing with one foot up against the wall. My theme colors were gold, white, and a goldish-brown. My magazine also has a lot of different headlines; they are mostly about musicians because I love music. This magazine is very catchy due to the way the colors, the headlines and pictures were put together.
During this project I was basically trying to express myself and show everyone how much hip-hop means to me. I think I gave that away because one of my headlines said, “ How hip-hop influences me”. I chose them theme colors because you really don’t see many magazines that color and also because I love the color gold and any color that are like a gold blend. I think I got the message I was trying to get across because if you don’t know me very well, you can look at that magazine cover and figure me out pretty well.
I really enjoyed this project and I fell like I took it very seriously. I fell that I did really well and that all my ideas were a success because when it was finished I didn’t have any regrets about anything. Although I didn’t have any regrets I still think I could’ve made it more professional but I decided to make it my own. Well I did the best I can and I am proud of what I did and I look forward to the next project.
