Dwell Magazine

I was given a draft of a magazine called dwell, and i had to alter it into my own magazine front cover, appealing to my own target audience and choosing my own colour schemes.

I used an image of the net, which i edited in photoshop to get the right effect i was looking for. This front cover is made up of roughly 3-4 layers in which the image is on layer 2. On the first layer is my mast head which i have covered with the model as the magazine is well known by its audience and therefore don't need to see a full masthead.

The colours i choose were bright yellow and oranges as my target audience is people of Keiras era, 20-30 ish, and it would stand out more to them.

For the kicker i have used the Keria Knightley story as it relates to the image. The straplines are also conventional as they run along the side of the magazine. Also i have used the barcode in the bottom right hand corner which is conventional of a magazine front cover.

Also i have used a price, which is on layer 3, also covering the mast head, and quite big to show that the price for the magazine is essential as it is at a reduced price and that is a unique selling point for the magazine.
