It may not exist but it's a great front-cover and I would believe it was real if you hadn't said it's not. Very professional-looking!

i only used 2 fonts...just different effects on the same font...thanks

I think this does look professional but I also think that the bevel could have been avoided and less fonts could have been used. I can understand the title being a bit covered, big mags like Cosmo do that quite often. Nice layout

thanks for the comments...and as far as grades my teachers who all work in the industry all have given my A's on my work...i maintain a 4.0 GPA...thanks :)

Still think if fonts were less..like I said, and I did look at EBONY cover, heres a link. The cover is well dony, likes like basically 90% of covers, simple serif fonts, caps used in title, and in others. Still diff from yours. But like your a little hidden :)

I do read Ebony and I am a member of the Black community and I love what you did here and agree that others should check out your source material and then judge. They may possibly still not get it though! What grade did your instructor give you?

this magazine cover was keeping in step with what EBONY does with theirs...this is not to be compared to any other magazine but EBONY...pick that up and see how close i got to their design....except for the title i used the same font the entire cover

sorry...looks like affter bevel, effect.. i was calling your piece yuk..can't see all I wrote..your piece isn't yuk...just need work

again type, too many...like photo, look at a mag cover, pick one any one, this should be a starting point. Fonts, type, tracking (yuk) Kern (yuk) (feelin' like I'm in Quark) are so important...as well as effects...unless we are in 1989...effects...beveling should be used with XTREME (YUK) caution. I am a specializer in type, most of my clients like type opposed to alotta of images. You are on the rite track.

I think it looks great. The 3 was NOT deserved. Looks professional to me!

Tamara Paylor 07 Nov 2003

being a popular magazine (perhaps only within the Black community) the name doesnt have to be fully shown and in fact it actually is hardly shown...but thanks for the comment :)
