PROBLEM
Design a magazine that showcases experimental fashion in order to promote a movie, television series or video game. Demonstrate skills with craft, photography and typography in a meaningful way related to the context. Students must also show and understanding of the lectures and apply them to the final magazine. The purpose of the magazine is to sell clothing to make a partnership with the film/video game. Additionally the magazine should attract overall media attention. Students must also design an original letter that is used on the cover which should corollate to the theme of the magazine.
SOLUTION
The "Dragon Born" magazine has been inspired by the video game Skyrim. It should set an intimidating tone that showcasing themes of corruption by power. This is conveyed to the viewer through story telling via typography and imagery relating to the main character portrayed in the magazine. To set the spirit of a twisted entity, dark, shadow colors are combined with greens that are reminiscent of poison - symbolic to corruption. To represent power, the camera angles are shot lower to portray the character is larger and more dominant over the viewer.
The magazine's audience is intended to reach the fashion, art and
celebrity community - as well as video game enthusiasts with obvious references to Skyrim.
