In this assignment, our task was to create a magazine cover and spread, and I chose National Geographic as my subject.
First, I searched for a cover image that would match the magazine's aesthetic and incorporated all necessary elements such as the title, lead article, cover lines, bar code, and issue date.
The second step was to design a two-page spread while keeping in mind the magazine's typography, design elements, and imagery. To achieve this, I used a font and color palette that closely resembled the original design.
The National Geographic front cover.
The first page consist of the heading, sub-heading, quotation, image, and body.
The second page consist of body and images.
