This is my revised magazine cover. I decided to name my magazine “Elevated” because I decided to call my brand “Elevated by El”. It is a fashion, interior design, and lifestyle magazine that encourages everyday women to be the best versions of themselves. It includes ideas when it comes to favorite recipe finds (hopefully these will mostly be healthy, but I had to include one I found for donuts…sometimes you just have to treat yourself), fitness, style, beauty products, activities, career advise, home decor and organization, and more. I’ve always wanted to start a youtube channel discussing these things, so this magazine cover was a fun way to express my interests.

Taking into account my own revision ideas and the ideas of others, I have re arranged some things slightly so that everything can appear more clear (in the draft, sometimes the words blended with the background). I have also added a cover and since I realized most magazines have various text colors, I fixed that too. I chose colors that gave off fall vibes and went coherently with the photos, hopefully enhancing the sense of unity. I decided to keep the slightly unblended lines, because I feel like it gives it more of a 3D, magazine style “pop”. I do not want it to blend into the background.

I have never used photoshop like this before, and I know there is much to learn and be improved upon, but I had a fun time designing this magazine cover, and I’m over all happy with how it turned out.
