Creating my layouts

I've stared to design my layout for my magazine. Im using Canva because it seems to be the easiest way to be artistic. When exploring Canva I realized I can get very creative when making my magazine. I noticed in basic magazines they usually have all the same simple designs. With Canva i'm able to create anything I want following a color scheme. I used Canvas templates to create inspiration in my mind. I saw that I was able to add stickers, so I found a sticker of scissors and a comb that seems to fit my theme very well. Im thinking of having this be my logo for the magazine.

The process at first was very overwhelming because I didn't know where to start. I decided to add all the pages I needed for the magazine. I needed the cover (1 page), table of contents (2 pages), Ad (1page), and Double page spread (2 pages). I added all 6 pages and titles all of them what was supposed to be what. After that I tested out my gold and black theme. I made the background black and made my titles gold. When seeing it made I knew it could've been better so i kept looking. That's when i found my brown, white and black color theme. It seemed a lot more classier and fit my vibe as a person. I want this magazine to represent me and be something i'm proud of. So, if that means changing some things I had planned then so be it. 

I then created what I wanted on each page. On the front cover I know I want a main photo to take up the whole page. For now, i'm using past pictures of haircuts i've taken within the week as placeholders. This helps me build where i want my content to go. 
On the front cover I added 3 subheading to grab the readers attention. The one on the right says, "10 unique summer styles" and the one on the left says "Upcoming products for flawless hair". Under the subheading on the left I added a comment that reads "See what products are made for your hair texture inside!". This is the topic i've decided to discuss in my double page spread and thought it would be fitting to add it to the cover.
