designs and sketches for student magazine

Today i will be becoming familiar with photoshop, by experimenting on a face i found on Google, in order to make the girl look more tired/stressed through her appearence.

In order to gain this look i used tools such as the burn tool, as this comes off with a slight dark tone, therefore i used this to make her look tired under the eyes, because students stereotypically are tired due to the long days waking up early and going to bed late because they are studying.

This is the idea i have in mind for my magazine cover, however I'm going to create this in real life using makeup on a model to make one side look tired/stressed and the other side looking radiant and healthy, this connotes that students can changed there stressed tired lifes by informing them on tips to do so, throughout my magazine. This relates to the magazine name 'inspire' because my student magazine is there to help the students become better mentally and physically so they have a positive mindset through college.






This is the masthead for my magazine, i used this simple yet sophisticated clear font because it connotes that the magazine has easy tips to achieve a better college life.
