The Real Deal
Today, I sat in class messing around with pages. It seems to be easier than what I expected, which is really good. The third picture I posted yesterday for you guys, is what I used as my sample. Who knows, maybe it will end up being the real deal. After realizing blue would be a prime subject color, within my magazine cover, I wanted to tell you guys what it means. Blue represents trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. Also the shade of blue pictured (water) can represent summer. Blue is considered as beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect, which is what most feel during summer.
My partner and I decided that our magazine “BITEZ" will use the color pink to represent it’s image. Thinking of the color pink, will automatically connect someones mind with our magazine. Although, summery colors like blue and yellow (water and sun) will go hand and hand with my specific issue. Having pink, representing a food magazine only seemed to make sense. It portrays a female view, which most of the time, is the stereotype for who runs the kitchen.
I have started my research, on how to create my own font. My partner and I have this imagine in our head, that we want a bite taken out of either the "B" or "Z", creating a more distinct feeling to our readers. From the research i've done so far, I learned that having a specific font, or design to represent your magazine, can bring in monthly readers. Because we aren't 100% that creating our own font will work out, we decided to have an always included section of the "TOP D.I.Y." based on what season or month it is. For the issue that I will be creating, I'm using this idea as my two page spread. Having the Top 10 D.I.Y. being popsicles, it brings in the summer vibe, without relying fully on colors to do so.

xoxo, Paige
