"Talent" Magazine Cover in Process

Vector Title for Magazine Cover

I created the title for my magazine cover for my inspiration word "talent". First, I found a magazine I want to base my cover from. Here I have recreated the title of the magazine cover for "City Dog" magazine. I created the text as a vector image on Adobe Illustrator. This way I can scale the text to what ever size I want and it wont get pixelated. I put a black rectangle under the vector text so you can see the word "City" and the slight white outline around the word "Dog". The only thing you can't see from this image is the slight drop shadow behind the word "City".

Inspiration: Talent

Magazine Cover: Inspiration "Talent"

For this little project I have decided to create a magazine cover. The inspiration word "talent" came from the site Illustration Friday. I have chosen the magazine "City Dogs". My vision is to photograph my cute Jack Russell Terrier, Cricket, and use Adobe Photoshop to create a painterly look to the photo. Then, I will use Adobe Illustrator to create the title, and then I will bring it back into Photoshop to put all the elements together and create cover stories. I am very excited to do this project as I LOVE photography and creating magazine covers.

Covered Wagon Final

Horse_wagon

This is my final design for the concept of the wheel. I started this horse and wagon image and Illustrator CS 5.5. Half way, I thought I would like to paint my drawing. I am not completely  happy with the way this turned out, but I wanted to try painting for a change.  I used acrylic paints on Canson paper.
