Day 15: Cover/Masthead + subscript

     Today, I was discussing my frustration regarding Indesign with a fellow student, and she had mentioned to me that she had similar issues, so she had decided to use Affinity. With her help, I had downloaded it and begun to work on my magazine. I had taken the picture I intended to use for my cover a few days prior, and this is it.

I am aware that the clothing choice is a bit bold, but that correlates with what my entire magazine is centered around. My initial intent to obscure the headline with a cutout of my subject/model was unsuccessful due to my inability to use the selection tool (like it quite literally would not let me). 

At first I was bummed about it but I had ended up spacing the two words out and I was pretty satisfied with the way it had turned out. I used complementary yet light colors and a subscript in addition to the masthead; both fonts having characteristics of lifestyle/luxury magazines (elegant curves and sharp lines, with sophisticated and iconic moods.)

The direct gaze my model gives the camera is additionally a key feature of luxury/fashion magazines.
