American Life Magazine — Editorial Cover Concept

This magazine cover was designed for a fictional bi‑monthly publication centered on the six dimensions of wellness. For this issue, I focused on emotional wellness, using a calm, confident portrait and harmonious color palette of mint green and salmon to evoke self‑acceptance and inner peace. The project demonstrates my skills in Photoshop, particularly in using Calculations to mask intricate details like that of the model’s curls. As well as my understanding of typographic hierarchy by positioning the masthead, selling line, dateline, and structured cover lines to guide the reader’s eye while maintaining balance and clarity. Careful layout decisions ensured proper margins and space for the barcode, resulting in a polished, professional composition that reflects the magazine’s peaceful and disciplined tone.
