Inspiring Magazine Designs

I am inspired mostly by outdoor and fashion magazines.

Covers:

Emma Watson | 2014 | Elle Magazine Australia Cover - April Issue

Spreads:

This is a very new age looking design. What I like is that there is a lot of white space which makes the colored parts more important. The only problem is the text going all different ways, but the triangular shapes with the pictures keeps you moving from the top of the page down to the last picture. Though the text might be a little confusing, the imagery is very nice.

Project #10 - Portrait Photography

Fine Art Photos:

I took this photo with a portrait lens and from a lower angle. Then I edited it with Lightroom. This is fine art because I'm trying to capture her being happy.

I also took this photo with a portrait lens and edited it in Lightroom. I'm also trying to capture her happiness in this photo.

Commercial Photos:

I took this photo with a portrait lens and gave my dog lots of treats so he would stay still. Then I edited it in Lightroom. In this photo I'm trying to sell dog treats.

I took this photo with my phone camera and had Mr. Gutlerner hold the Great Gatsby and his coffee. Then I edited it in Lightroom. This is a commercial photo because I'm advertising the Lincoln staff.
