This was a mini task on creating a magazine cover. We where given options of magazines that we wanted to create a halloween themed cover for, as you can see I chose to go with Timeout Magazine.

Instead of making the main concept being an image or illustration, I wanted it to be purely text that attracts the viewers attention. I used a big and heavy font to fill the space with text, the font I used here is Metropolis Black.

This has been laid out with a lot of thought as this cover has many different interpretations depending on how you might read it. Let me pick them out for you.

If you read the whole thing properly then its says ‘welcome to hell on earth 2020′

Read only the black fill text it says ‘welcome on earth’. This can be like welcoming aliens or ghosts to earth.

Now just read the orange text it says ‘we are in hell 2020′. Covid-19 has destroyed many peoples lives and made it hell for us.
