MAGAZINE PROTOTYPE
For the Magazine and two Page Spread, I chose to research and create my own issue of Imagine FX. I originally chose this magazine not only because it’s in my wheelhouse of Illustration! But also because it is a magazine that I read a lot and has taught me a lot over the years. I knew when starting the project that I wanted the colour palette to mimic/ relate back to the colour that I chose for my logo.
For the overall assessment I ended up taking the most creative liberties with the cover of the magazine as for Imagine FX magazine their covers are never the same so I had the most fun coming up with something to create. For the spread, however, I tried to replicate the overall one of Imagine FX article spreads so that when you looked at the cover and the spread it looked like something that you could actually see in one of their magazines.
Because of this I mainly took liberty with the artwork and the article which I had quite a bit of fun writing.
When I look back at the overall project the only thing that I feel that I could have changed was the colours within the second illustration for the two-page spread as I feel that when I integrated the illustration with the cover image the colours clashed and the overall started to meld with the colours I used in the cover.
