Magazine Project Cover Template

Cover Page Mag
Muscle Magazine logo is black because white text doesn't show on background

I chose the title: Muscle Magazine to show readers that this magazine is about muscle, fitness, and health. The target audience this magazine is trying to interest is the average to intermediate gym-goer, and by having a simple name like Muscle Magazine, it best attracts that audience
I had one universal font for the whole cover page, Haettenschweiler, because I felt this font invites more people to read the magazine over any other one, because the goal is to get the most amount of people to buy it. I have, however, changed up the sizes of the font. Using the Men's Health cover as inspiration, I made the words that I thought would interest readers more bigger, like Muscle Man, and I made less interesting words smaller, like the subcategories of Diet and Gear. This helps to make the magazine more visually appealing as well as sub-communicate the authenticity of the magazine, in replacing the one size text, with several, different sizes.

Mid Term Magazine Submission Cover Production : I chose the title:  Muscle Magazine  to show readers that this magazine is about muscle, fitness, and health. The target audience this magazine is trying to interest is the average to intermediate gym-goer, and by having a simple name like  Muscle Magazine,  it best attracts that audience. I wanted the title, "Muscle Magazine" the be slightly covered by the person in the picture's head. I learned that this required Photoshop to do, which I had no experience in. Luckily, Aaron, a friend that sat near me, taught me how to make the picture slightly cover the title and then reinsert the picture into the magazine. He also taught me how to format the picture so it sat vertically, instead of horizontally, and I finished up by making that picture fit into the border. I had one universal font for the whole cover page, Haettenschweiler, because I felt this font invites more people to read the magazine over any

Magazine Scouting Locations for Photo shoots

Locations: La Fitness Bee ridge: This location was too crowded to film at. The gym is always filled with people using the necessary equipment that we needed, and I didn't think it would be professional to have lots of people in the background of the pictures. La Fitness Southgate: After scouting this location I realized it was too open to do the shoot, I would have to walk around a lot and I needed somewhere that had more sense the 'gym' feeling. *Both La Fitness' were too bright for good pictures GrindFit Tamiami Trail: This location was perfect because it is a local gym that had the 'laid back' gym feel and it was empty during our whole shoot. The shots came out great because the lighting wasn't as bright, which complimented the flash photography
