Objective:
The objective of this project was to design 2 magazine spreads for a topic of our choice. I am very passionate about music, so I chose to design my spread on the history of shoegaze music.
Process:
While designing this magazine I took a lot of inspiration from famous shoegaze album covers like “loveless” by the band My Bloody Valentine to achieve a dreamy and ethereal feeling design that correlates with the feeling that the genre provokes. This is seen in the cover image of a guitarist adjusting their pedal board. The image was converted to a purple duo-tone and then had some blur and other effects layered on top to give it a dreamy look.
Medium/Tools Used:
Photoshop for photo manipulation, InDesign for layout design
