Illustration&Publication: DG magazine cover design

Student Project

About the project

  • Brief

    Design a cover for an issue of DG magazine with the theme: ‘celebrities’.

  • The celebrity: Jin Xing

    Jin Xing is the Chinese transgender celebrity (most popular TV hostess, prima ballerina, modern dancer, choreographer).

  • Concept

    • ThThe portrait shows her courageous and uninhibited attitude through the expression in her eyes as well as her posture.

    • The theme colour is red, communicating assertiveness, daring, enthusiasm, powerful energy, echoing Jin Xing’s personality.

The process of making the cover

The portrait was done using Procreate. Then I uploaded the image into Photoshop and adjust the contrast and size of the image created from the iPad.

The cover was created via Adobe InDesign.
