OriginalRen Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Edit: This is the new cover design, version 2: A couple of things: Obviously, fonts and the color scheme are the biggest thing to consider here. I chose some I thought fit the cover itself, but if anyone has any other ideas, let me know. Remember that too many fonts will make the magazine cover look ridiculous, so keeping a consistent font might be more beneficial The cat girl image on the title is something I was hoping to replace with art from a member of the community. I would love to have an artist who draws a mascot chibi each month that can in some way be featured on the cover of the magazine. These images would not need to be extremely detailed, and anything quickly drawn up would be fine The background image can easily be replaced each month, and I think having new images would be an awesome idea Moving things around is also pretty simple. Anything seem out of place? Adjustments perhaps Thoughts? This is something I am genuinely serious about, so if anyone has any ideas, let me know what you think.

Nayleen Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The only font I don't think looks good is the one used in the "In this issue" headline (it appears to be the same one used for the "June 2015 / Issue 1" text, but that one looks fine considering the text and placement), I'd stick to a non-serif font there. Otherwise I think this looks really, really nice and professional. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimbus Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Catgirl on the cover 10/10 In all seriousness I agree with Nayleen that the "in this issue" font could use a little work. Looking forward to seeing idea come to life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keaton Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Looks nice other than the part at the top right. The font just seems off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugiken Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Could disable the black stroke/border on the pink rectangle box, i think that'll blend in more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12kami Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 i like this,and like the other say,"in this issue" could get a little editing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 "in this issue" could get a little editing Agreed. The only thing that stands out is that, other than that 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shikomizue Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 These images would not need to be extremely detailed, and anything quickly drawn up would be fine Here you go good sir. Drawn in 2 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginalRen Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 A couple of changes, but overall I wanted to make sure I balanced the white space properly in the layout. I went with a very simplistic design in the end, providing the information that is necessary to the reader and allowing spots for improvement. I hope this is something that addressed the suggestions given in the thread: Thoughts? I can move the placeholder text around as need be. It isn't very centered in this example.

Nayleen Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 And it's dangerously close to overlapping the main focus of the image. It'll probably require a bit of nudging when the actual text gets added, otherwise I like this one just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
