Title & selling line development


Hey guys!!! It's been a hectic week and I apologize for taking so long to post but here I am. I've compiled more research, much more extensively, and I think I'm beginning to get an idea of what I want my title page to look like.

As I progress in explaining what I have down until now, I'll incorporate pictures so you can see how I've gone developing the ideas for my title page.

As I had mentioned before, NatGeo Traveler will serve to be my main inspiration. I want to follow a similar guide but use less headings on the title page. Or less writing, a little more concise so that the focus is solely an image. Below you'll find one of my favorite covers of the magazine that I've seen- this was has considerably less headings and is less wordy, the main focus is the image. The colors are vibrant and the picture, in my opinion, is interactive & entices the reader.


I'll begin with the title of course, which has to be the same in every issue. Since my magazine's focus is its aesthetics and I want the colors to be vibrant and matching, when it comes to colors my title will change according to the color scheme of each issue. The font & name, of course, will remain the same... that goes without saying. I'll now elaborate on my selling line, as promised in my last post. "A taste of your world," is an elegant statement. I used the word "your" so that it's a direct address to the reader & gives them a sense of ownership & connection with this world I am showing through my magazine. If it's THEIR world, shouldn't they get to know it? 


I have yet to choose a font but my title will be in all caps. I want to place it at the bottom of my page, as I've seen that most of these magazine covers have it on the top (right), this would be a different layout & could make it interesting for readers


Below you'll find two sketches of where I plan to place my title & my selling line. Both visible & first sight areas.
