Of particular importance are: clean compositing and/or excellent quality graphics, effective and legible typography (look at magazine covers in print form to understand proportion, placement, and legibility), choose and execute an effective color scheme, and develop an interesting concept that you effectively communicate on your cover. YOU NEED AN ORIGINAL and outstanding photograph or graphic for your cover!
Doublecheck the final requirements to make sure you meet the criteria.
Final magazine cover due: Thursday, July 24. Please post the final magazine cover + any 3 homeworks (or more!) of your choice since the mid-term in your blog.
