Magazine Cover Mood Board

Cloak and Dagger- Marked by melodramatic intrigue and often by espionage

Shows the more "underground" side of restaurants and bars in the city.

Think I'm going with shabby.

What will your masthead look like? Do you have any ideas for fonts?
Bold. Grungy. Dark/Bright colors... Contrast

What images will be on the cover and why?
Images of the city or subways or underground types of restaurants/bars/music and events etc. I want to do a magazine about inner cities and do more of the filth of cities rather than to glorify them. Show dive bars, less popular restaurants that are sort of hole in the walls that locals love.

What will be your sell lines to entice your target audience?
"Not too Shabby..."
"cloak-and-dagger activities "
"hole-and-corner intrigue"

Personal Integration

The two pictures before I integrated them.

 My picture by myself.

 My ad.



Indesign Integration of Ad Final


This is my final project. I added the image of myself in to the back right corner and ended up adding a filter to make myself warmer like the rest of the image. I also added small text in the bottom to look some what like the Tommy Hilfiger text. All in all I some what blend in. If I would of worn more similar clothing I think it would of worked really well. This was a fun project and I might use it in the future as a joke or something.
