Destiny Make-up

Progress on Bombe Magazine has been going well a full page story is finished as well as 3 one page ads.  My "Destiny Make-up" is one of my favorites the inspiration came from the fact that I wanted an ad that sort of told two stories which is the effect I hope it perceives.  I had originally created this ad in my digital file preparation class.  If you scroll down my blog you should find the process I went through in making it.  It is 8.5x11 inches with a full bleed.  I hope you like it, the design is different than the original.  Note that there is no text in this current ad I will upload that soon but it is the same as in the first post.

Bombe Magazine

Fellow Bloggers,

I have finally decided on a name for my ficticious magazine BOMBE which is the french word for bombshell.  Why did I choose this you might ask?  I wanted to describe females in a manner in which you don't hear very often which is why I had first went with the name Vixen.  This magazine will be specifically for females included will be funny stories (confessions), stories about beauty, men among numerous other things.  My first story is about 90% done and was inspired from the crazy things my friends and I have done "Classy Not Trashy" is the name of the article.  I also have began on one of my one page ads and started on the back cover page as well.  Hopefully, tomorrow I can put up some screen shots of my progress.

Bombe?

Fellow bloggers,

As I said in my previous post I am going to be creating a fictitious magazine to really showcase my layout skills and the things I have learned in my four years at Pitt State University.  The magazine with be 8.5x11 finished, and will consist of 12 pages.  When I first started planning out the magazine I was going to make it 10 pages but if you do your research you will find that is not possible because it needs to be in groups of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16 etc) because you will have two pages on the front and back.

My biggest struggle so far is the title of the magazine, because of copyright reasons I cannot name the magazine after one that is already being published (Rave, Beaute, Vixen) these were my top picks and they have been thrown into the dumpster.  My choices right now that are NOT already out there are as follows:

1) Bombshell
2) Bombe
3) Fabuleux

Or....

I thought about changing the spelling on the already Vixen magazine to Vix-N but that looks a little tacky to me.  So far I think option 2 will be my final choice, I will keep you posted on what I choose and next is color scheme which is always fun for me because I LOVE color. Until next time...

Happy Blogging!!!!
