So, I hope that the purpose of this project is pretty clear. It’s meant to be a mock Life Magazine. In the Halloween spirit, I’ve called the magazine Death and given it a bit of a morbid twist. In design and content, I wanted it to be pretty clear what is going on. –Obviously the Life magazine cover’s aesthetic is iconic and almost ingrained into our visual memories, so the devil was in the details for this project. The cover is deceivingly simple and it took hours of precise manipulation of the design elements to get everything just right. It’s a testament to the intentions of the Life magazine creators that it took me so long to replicate it.

Here is the era of the Life covers that I based this one one:
