The magazine cover was a challenge for me. I wanted to do something edgy that combines art and my daughter. So I selected a photograph that she sent to me as the cover. It was taken in the Harvard University Art Museum. In it, she makes herself a part of the exhibit. Also I liked the warm colors of the photograph. They make for an excellent backdrop for a magazine cover.
To create this piece I made the photograph the backdrop for my cover. Then, I experimented with colors before finally settling on a light beige/pink tint. I selected another photo of my daughter holding balls used in a science experiment as a second graphic as it blends nicely with the background. The other visual is a painting I photographed at MOMA.
I was please with the way this project turned out. I felt like it blended nicely and mimics the edge look of real art magazines.
