Re-construction of a Front Cover

 


I have re-construted this front cover from Vogue magazine, I decided to use this magazine because, obviously, my magazine genre is 'fashion' and Vogue is a top fashion magazine. I believe that recreating this magazine was considerably easy, I made my model pose similarly to the model/ singer 'Lana Del Rey', she has her hand placed underneath her chin with her arms crossed, so this was very easy to recreate. To edit the text onto the image I used Photoshop, I found using photoshop easy because I have used it in the past. 

My model was originally standing against a white wall, however the magazine front cover shows the model standing in front of a pink coloured backdrop, so to change my background I used the paint brush tool on photoshop. As you can quite clearly see, the models clothing aren't matching, I did try to match the makeup and hairstyle of the model, they are both wearing very neutral shades on the face and their hairs are a similar colour. 

To ensure that the texts were similar I thoroughly checked the fonts on photoshop and selected the ones which I believed looked most like the original Vogue magazine. As for the colours, I used the tool to select colours, by clicking the pink text from the vogue magazine, photoshop picked a colour that was most like the pink on there. 

And finally the layout, this was the easiest task to complete. I literally placed the text i.e. mast head at the top of the page and the sell lines by the side of the model.
