Magazine Cover Mockup with the Editorial Illustration Cover

Overview

The goal of this project was to design a cover for our selected editorial piece. This article discusses the pandemic as well as its impact on Halloween. The main concepts for this piece were ghosts which relates to the holiday as well as experimenting and exploring risograph-based effects/styles.

Sketches

I started this project off with rough sketches. Halloween is a very common and overdone theme, where as with other projects I come up with unique takes on the topic for this one I embraced the concept rather than tried to diversify it.
