The color theme that I'm going to use for my magazine is going to be neutral. At first I wanted to make my magazine colorful. However, after doing research I found that the 'Vibe' magazine uses darker colors so I decided to shift towards darker colors to meet the codes and conventions of the 'Vibe' magazine. I recreated the main cover by using a black backdrop to draw all the attention to the main subject of the magazine. The black backdrop will also help allow the font and color of the masthead and the rest of the anchors to stand out.
For the masthead i'm going to be using a serif font. It will be placed on the top of the page and the main subject will be covering some of the letters. I chose a four letter word so the design can be similar to the 'Vibe' magazine. When I chose the name 'Dope' I didn't know that a magazine already existed with that name, but this project is not meant to copy that magazine or steal any of their ideas. To follow up the codes and conventions of the 'Vibe' magazine I made sure to chose a font color for the subheadings that pops out and attracts the audience. For instance, a bright orange to match the outfit of the model and create an aesthetically pleasing theme.
For the table of contents, I will use a similar picture to the main cover to follow the codes and conventions of the magazine I picked. The title "table of contents" will be in all caps with a san-serif font in white to make a good contrast between the text and the background of the cover. Descriptions under each sub-heading will also be in a white san-serif font. However, just like the 'Vibe' magazine, I will change the color font for the numbers to bright orange to maintain the color theme of my magazine. Instead of the 'V' at the top of the page I will use a 'D' because my magazine is called Dope but it's going to stay white like the rest of the text because that was best fitted for my cover.
