And now something completely different!

Following the rumors on more and more people claiming to be Vampires, I decided to start a magazine “Vampire’s health”, or at least design a cover page in case anyone ever decides to make a magazine for that particular “type” of people.

So, since I took the time and effort to make this cool cover page, thought I might as well show you how it’s done 🙂 so if you are into or plan to become a professional graphic designer this will be funny and cool way for you to learn how to make a cover for the magazine.

Enjoy!

This is a part one of the tutorial named: “How to make a cover page layout for the Vampire’s Health magazine” Examine the cover page very closely before proceeding with the tutorial.

Done?

Examine…! Did You? OK.

As you can see, a good copywriting is a part where graphic designer and the editor get the inspiration from. The rest is “just” Photoshop. Tutorial is finished.
