Welcome Back!
For today's blog, I'll just be going over a quick overview and explanation of the magazine cover that I designed!
Creating the magazine was actually pretty easy. I used Canva to find a magazine cover template and then I just edited the words and added different pictures. The magazine look so far is fairly simplistic and sophisticated. I added my own magazine name that I actually just randomly came up with in my head, "Ecstasy Travel". I simply just added a word that I knew included joy or excitement in front of "Travel" and it sounded like a pretty decent name. Ecstasy is "an overwhelming feeling of great happiness or joyful excitement". With this being said, "Ecstasy Travel" basically means exciting and joyful trips/destinations that would be fun to travel to. "Ecstasy Ent.", meaning "Ecstasy Entertainment" is just a business or organization name I came up with. The magazine cover focuses on one of many destinations that would be fun to travel to, Hawaii. For the cover page pictures, I used pictures that I took when I traveled to Hawaii. I used a waterfall shot and a picture on the plane on my way to the destination as the big pictures. In the 3 little circle boxes, there were some pictures landscapes that I captured and a quick flick of a Luau performance.
I also edited and added new fonts for the text on the cover page. Lastly, in the bottom right hand corner I just added what I thought would be a good attention grabber for readers in order to pique their interest in reading or thinking about traveling to Hawaii. Getting these words to fit on the bottom corner was my first and only struggle. I had to try to keep the sentences short because it would only fit but so much, and I had to keep lowering the font size because it kept venturing off of the whole magazine. At the end though, as we can see all aspects of the magazine worked out in my favor. Everything came together like I knew it would, creating this magazine cover was a fun experience.
