Cover Layout: Anthem Magazine

In this execution, I used a lot of experimentation to come to my final version of this layout. I found this image of this doll so unusual, and thought it had a fantastic profile shape to have as a cover image. I selected the header font because it was unique and contained wide curves, similar to the doll’s profile, but letters that were very bold, similar to impact. I felt this font “stood” up against the image of the doll very well, I even decided to use to again in the copy below, but certainly not as grand in size. The doll’s eyes show the reader the hierarchal direction in where to begin reading the copy. The remainder of the layout design, such as the shapes and lines, were simply just experimentation that just fit into the layout. I don’t have much more of an explanation than that for the various abstract elements featured on this cover.
