Samples for the moving magazine cover typography / cover lines:
Below, are my own samples of the typography for the moving magazine cover
This screenshot above, is of different fonts that I found to be really interesting and that could work well with cover of my magazine. I think that all of the fonts above could have been used for my cover, however I chose the second font from the 4th line down which was called 'Oranienbaum'. I really liked this font more than the others, because it is appealing to the eye and wasn't too harsh so that you couldn't read it, like some of the above.
On this screenshot, I opened up Photoshop and found a VOGUE cover on Google Images, to create my own typography in this style, when in Photoshop.
I uploaded an image that I already had and set out grids to show where I would roughly have my cover lines and the masthead. For the masthead, I simply used 'magazine', as my title to refer to the fact that it doesn't matter what fashion magazine you look at it always have an effect on people. I used the same cover lines as the one to the left from VOGUE, however I did change the colours to fit in with my photo. This was my first attempt with this typography as I needed to changed the colours on the left hand side of my photoshop file as the black writing at the side of the girl's head doesn't look too great, so I had to change this to blend nicely. |
On this screenshot, this is where I had changed the writing at the side of the girl's head to white, I think that this looks more readable and would draw you in. I also put a glow effect around that specific line to show that it is more important than the other cover lines around it.
Below is the final image of trying out typography as a full JPEG from Photoshop. |
This is my finished product of trying out typography for my moving magazine cover. I'm really impressed with this, as I think that it all comes together and looks really smart. I specifically like the font that I used for this, as I think that the mood it brings it something quite intriguing toward the image itself.
