Magazine Front Page image

For the front page of my magazine I needed an original image. I considered who my target audience would be, and I decided that the majority of people who would be reading my magazine would be boys that are interested in punk culture, punk music and punk girls, because of this I decided to mix all of these ideas together, and I planned to photograph an attractive punk girl, wearing punk fashion clothing,  and use the image for the front cover. However, while I was touching up the image, I realised that it would look better if it was more artistic, integrating my previous work (inspired by Oscar Wilson) and turning my photo into a calligram using photoshop. While creating the image, I realised I really liked the Contrast between the diverse colours of the photograph, and the bold, blocky colours of the typography and I decided to leave gaps in the typography to leave some texture in the image. I then added the same background texture as will be in the magazine.

This is the finished piece, the way that it will look on the cover of my magazine, except without the magazine title, and any featured articles.
