Magazine Cover
Overview: The purpose of this exhibit is to demonstrate my ability to design a magazine cover in Photoshop.
Design Principles:
I used what I know about grids and typography to select and place the text. To add more of a professional look and feel I added the barcode.

Fonts Used: Mexcellent, Arial Black, Didot
Design Principles:
- Contrast: White text on black backgrounds, and black text on lighter backgrounds. Used supportive fonts, one with a serif, the other without.
- Repetition: Because of the road, lines and a sense of movement is in the overall photo. A font with lines and movement was selected to highlight the main topic of the magazine.
- Alignment: Used right justified text to add balance to the overall composition, matching the lines in the road.
- Proximity: Like content, for example the blurbs highlighting articles found in the magazine, were placed together.
