Virtual Magazine

ADOBE PHOTOSHOP || ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR For this project, I designed a magazine, complete with cover art and a mobile web layout. The goal of the project was to begin developing my skills in Photoshop and Illustrator. The cover and graphics were created using primarily Photoshop, while the web layout was created almost entirely in Illustrator. I really enjoyed creating the magazine’s brand from the ground up. Imagining the content that would fill the pages, I wrote a mock article to showcase the mobile layout I created. Moving forward, my plans to expand on this project include creating a fully functional web page using the mobile layout. Maybe I'll even write an article covering Beard of Legend once it's finished!

I started with the image of the VR user. Using the FX tools, I gave him an inner and outer glow to kind of blur his edges and help him stand out from the dark background. Most of the text boxes were created using gradients or smart object effects.

I created a mobile article layout for the magazine. Illustrator was used to create the menus and phone displays, then the image was moved into Photoshop to add the images and article text. The keyboard names, specs and reviews are totally fake, but it's readable!
