This was my first mock up, following my layout draft designs from earlier in February. There is no colour or graphics on this version other than the barcode.
This version i added colours and the plus sign and sticker/label graphic. I stuck to my agreed theme of mostly blues, with a little green to break the text up at the bottom.
This time, i added a lot of effects to help things stand out more. I added drop shadows to all layers (the entire series is done purely in Photoshop) and white outer glows to "I Am Frank!" and EP. I also beveled and embossed EP - it may not look like it, but i ramped the depth up to 1000 and played with the smoothness dial to get this funky effect.
This is one of two finalized drafts (granted, without the proper text/articles on it yet!). I changed some of the fonts from my original idea of Caviar Dreams to make the magazine more glossy and stylish, to give the appearance of a more sophisticated and sleek style. I Am Frank! is in Kushtie Script and the PLUS and EXCLUSIVE! parts are in "Birth Of A Hero" font. The straplines are in Champagne Light font. I fiddled a little more with the EPs smoothness and was happier with this effect which is less washed out in my opinion.
This is the second version of finalised draft. It's exactly the same as version one but for the Bolder/Thicker EP.
Let me know which you prefer, thicker or thinner EP logo?
Cheers :)
