Danielle Wells Magazine Project

I made a magazine about pirates because I thought it would be a good play off of magazines like Cosmo, or Glamour...because it's the exact opposite. Yet, the subheads are just like the scandalous ones you'd find on glamour magazines, just about pirates.

The picture I chose was a picture I took when I was in Clearwater Florida. I was trying to find a picture that really gave an impression of the beach, and after trying to find one online, I decided that mine would be best. And it worked perfectly. I kept the sunset in the bottom right corner because I thought it worked well with the yellow circle...the circle covering it up because the magazine is about pirate happenings..not the sunset. I also liked the circle in the bottom corner because the lens flare I added to it, picks up the sunset lighting...making it almost look like the yellow circle is the sunset.

I used a lot of yellows because I thought that was the best contrast against the black, or really dark background. It was another way for me to portray the "opposite kind of magazine" through colors. I think that yellow is also the best color to really grab the reader...I'd pick this up if I were walking by.
