Photographic Artwork for Editorial Covers

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and we hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the editorial design you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, we strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help us guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: The Brief Review the brief and sketch out different concepts for the cover, keeping within the specs.

Inspiration Research the look and feel you'd like to achieve and gather a set of images that best represents your idea. The Photoshoot Once your lighting and styling are set, photograph your final image and any other plates needed for retouching. Remember to take trial photos as you work on your set, to optimize the final results. Editing and Retouching Assemble all your image plates into one file and tweak them until you're happy with the composition and general look. Then, work on the typography. And that's all! We can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. We will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! We will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there!”
