Magazine Development (concept ideas) (+ cover research & development)

Here is the development process of my magazine, I will put all of my ideas here and reflect on the decisions I make.

Reflection: This is honestly the fun/creative part of making magazines, the idea generating part. Maybe I should add more on my own time sometimes. I like the aesthetic of simple names such as "PANELS" or "Turn The Page", really eye capturing yet fits the genre theme. Even if I feel like there should be more on a cover, I really like what turned out, and... it was satisfying to see my drawing skills come to life with the main image.

Genre: Comic Book/Superheroes
Sub-Genre: N/A

Name of Magazine: 
- MvDC
- BOOM!
- POW!
- WALLOP
- Panels of Paper
- PANELS
- COMIC CON
- Turn The Pages (gave me a new idea for a topic in my magazine)
   - PTO (Please Turn Over)
- Paper Panels
- Super Men
- Super Men and Women

- INDISTRUCTIBLE

- Iron Lads

'PANELS' is one of the two titles im deciding on for my Magazine title. It's literally meaning are the different Panels/Pages in comic books, BUT the connotations it has are the countless and endless amount of comic book pages they could read, when people see this name. 

Possible Cover Lines

- Meet the most Marvelous [comic book] charaters!

- Read some of the most DC-astrous fights!

- DC-asterous fights!

- Marvelous characters!

- BOOM and POW everywhere!

- [Insert Comic Book Character here] vs [Insert Comic Book Character here] will be the most insane fight ever!

Images

- A long shot of character who is a total rip off of Iron Man (with the armor and blue blasters when he fly, with him flying towards/on the right of the camera on front of the Non-Diegetic Masthead)

- The background is probably like a city. I also like the idea of it being like very destructed or chaotic like the road in Avengers Infinity War where Iron Man and Dr Strange fought Ebony Maw (yes that is his name).

- mayyyyybbeeeeee the magazine cover could have a few comic book styled bubbles saying things like BOOM or POW

Main Cover

This is probably gonna be easy as I just need to come up with a rip off of Iron Man, and either I draw him or make him myself or ask a friend to draw one for me, then put it on the magazine. And whether I make the art style simplistic or very flashy like comic books, it should be simple enough to make and draw. 

tried the classic layout, pretty cool, tried some cool wavy effects for the masthead. third one is kind of cool, first one works alright, second one is funny but bad. I think the first and third is a bit of a tie in quality with me leaning towards the third one better.

I like this layout despite how hard it is to read the masthead, mainly because of how dynamic and creative it is.

Decided to not only stick with this font for the masthead since it fits comic books more, but decided to add this effect to make it stand out a little more.

Changed the affect and don't used for the coverlines since my teacher didn't like the original ones, even if I thought they were ol ,my teacher suggested againts it, so I had to stick with these ones, which aren't half bad.

Here is a barcode I generated on an online bardocde generator in which I don't have a screenshot of

And here's the final and finished product:
