Using http://www.magcover.com/, I designed a magazine cover that would cater to DIY fanatics. The publisher of this magazine is Homepage, an independent and privately held publishing companies. It is the home to some of the world's best-selling hobby and leisure magazines. The intended audience are creative housewives and husbands, single men and women who are looking for hobbies that can be lucrative, furniture makers and DIY fans. I would like my readers to take the magazine home, collect them, and regard them as a very useful manual that is worth keeping and handing down.
The cover shows a step-by-step image of up cycling a table. It immediately appeals to DIY-ers because they can easily relate to it and get an idea from it. The font of the headline is a classic design similar to what the magazine features, classic designs. The color, earthy and natural represents wood which is one of the most beautiful and practical material to work with. The font size is perfect for the size of the picture, not too overpowering but big enough to be easily noticed.
If I were to give two adjectives to describe this cover design it would be motivating and resourceful. The magazine is supposed to motivate people to create and not be afraid to experiment.
