Editorial Design - Project 3



VENTURE wouldn't be a magazine without a cover to go with it.
Better yet, have two covers. The red cover is the one being printed to go on the final magazine mockup that I'm working on as I type (it's behind me drying out on the floor, and you will see photos soon).

The idea was to use the cover image to get the colours for the masthead (VENTURE), the coverlines, and the coloured bars. The red one took a darker shade of red from the temple, and the sable from the sand. The green cover is from the foliage around the lake, and the purple from the irises. The masthead never moves, but the coverlines and secondary coverline bar can be moved around the page so that more or less of the image is shown.

These are both my own photos.
And, as usual, the conversion to a web-safe format has ruined the colour.
Imagine both of those REALLY bright.
