Explosion First Cover Edit One

Planning: When thinking about how to design for Explosion magazine, I thought about how I could make the design so simple that it creates an effect with the magazine theme. I thought about adding a brick wall for adding effect to the simplicity of the theme chosen. Choosing a brick wall the feature on the background of the front cover of the magazine makes the front cover seem more edgy. Especially, as the picture has a dark filter and the model is looking away. It makes the front cover seem more mysterious. Also, how there is limited information, make the audience want to look inside to see what type of magazine this is. I originally thought that the white font over the grey background was not going to work together but I found out that they contrast really well so this is something that I would bring into my second edit. Lastly, I would bring in the way I have presented the subtitles and headlines into my second edit. Instead of having large text and pictures that overpowers the background image, I have used small simple text to create that limited effect and how it does not distract the audience from the main purpose of this magazine.
