Kanye West 'VIBE' magazine cover.






This is the final magazine cover i produced using the template of the hip-hop magazine 'VIBE'. I tired to incorporate fonts which are close enough to the real thing to give a realistic feel, I went with a strict colour scheme of red, white and black, which grabs the attention of the potential consumer with a large red title and a mixture of big and small fonts after i researched into real magazine covers which also have the same thing. I used an image which hasn't been used before to publicise Kanye West in magazines to give the magazine a more original feel. As 'VIBE' magazine doesn't have a tagline i didn't use one, but all the other conventions of 'VIBE' magazine I have incorporated into the final design.












This is the original image, I had to adjust the picture from the original, I had to darken it to make it look more blended with the black background of the final cover. I had to cut Kanye West out and put it on the black background for the final cover, darkening the left side of his face to make the image look like it was taken for my magazine cover originally.















This is an original cover made for VIBE magazine featuring Kanye west, i took inspiration from this.
