I decided to look further into the magazine cover's of Esquire, Pop, Elle and Vogue as they are the most influential to my magazine. I also think that the cover of a magazine has to reflect the overall style, so I used these covers to take inspiration for my own. The style of magazine I am going for is a cross between the Blake Lively edition of Esquire, and a high contrast cover such as Gwen Stefani on the cover of V or Drew Barrymore on the cover of Pop.
Another influence I would like to take is the writing that runs behind the models of Esquire, rather than on or over. I like that as it looks as if the Model is standing in front of a backdrop with all the writing on. I think this looks different yet would draw the audience in as I think it is fun to look at and easy to read.
I also liked the font on the Kate Moss cover of Pop, the brush strokes contrasted with the basic title to make the magazine look very versatile, I plan to use my models name in the background (in the style of Esquire) with a similar font to that on the cover of the Kate Moss edition of Pop.
Izzy. As you're looking at quite high end fashion magazines take care with your audience, what sort of person would that attract? Clearly Lady Gaga has a huge following but her fashion/style is rather unique, and the magazine covers you mention are very quirky.
ReplyDeleteSimilarly is that high fashion look achievable? Do you know any 6ft beanpoles with a wardrobe costing many thousands of pounds?
I do believe you could pull this off but your going to need a ridiculous amount of planning. Speak with Lucyann about photography as she has a different style and may be able to give you some pointers.
Izzy can pull this off, shes superwoman.
ReplyDeleteIn which case there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
