Software practice: Magazine cover

-

Today I will create the main page of my magazine and for this I used the VISME platform

I had a idea of ​​a combination with my main project — an interview about the "Experience of Ukrainian students in England"

My idea was to convey the main idea of the article through the title and the talking picture.


I wanted to choose a title for my magazine and the article as a whole that was not banal. So I chose the phrase "Where are you from?" I decided to deliberately remove the "are" part to make it sound simpler and more natural in the reader's mind, as if it were a phrase taken out of context

This phrase, in my opinion, is a strong trigger in the minds of most immigrants and especially those who came from Ukraine. I think it conveys the idea of the article briefly and clearly.

Next, I chose the main background, the Motherland monument, which is located in the center of the capital of Ukraine - Kyiv. This monument is one of the main symbols of my country and is quite recognizable in the world.

The next step was to play with fonts for a long time and settled on these:
"Archivo Black" for the headline
"Dolce Vita" for the subheading
"Anek Malayalam" for the additional description


And here is the overall result I got:

 Hi everyone! Well, this Christmas Holliday gone pretty fast, but it was so nice to have a rest, to hang out with a friends, to cook a lot and sleep a lot! I am so glad that I have choose to have little bit of travel and went to York in England as well. I really want to tell you more about what has inspired me for that short period of time the most. But first, a little backstory.  I am person who really love music especially soundtracks, because you can forgot about your own issues and turn on your own imagination.

There was something so familiar to me, something what I always know.  The soundtrack of The Peasants was playing in my headphones.   I was so interested by the melody, so I google more about where is it from. To my surprise, The Peasants  was released literally during this period in some cinemas in London. Of course I took th...

Additionally, for good understanding of the techniques, I would like to show examples of other writers. Illustration by Emily Temple Firs of all, there is important that my story is based on the old culture legends and there is about quite  mystic world. So, have a sense to focus on the some way of ideas. Symbolism  Usually, what the symbol looks like is a key to helping us understand the idea that it symbolises.  It allows the reader to see concepts and ideas in interesting descriptions or words that should fire the reader's imagination.  For example in books of Harry Potter by J.K.
