This week’s assignment for Design Foundations required us to use a color scheme and an adjective to create a cool and fantastical magazine cover. Out of the many eclectic adjectives we came up with, “diabolical” is the one we chose.
Diabolical: characteristic of the Devil, or so evil as to be suggestive of the Devil.
Though most of us don’t actually worship the devil (in public at least…I think?….It can be unclear sometimes), we decided to make our Diabolical magazine about all-too-real human vices; something you might say is, from the Devil himself. Everything from stealing to demon summoning is discussed.
Our color scheme from Adobe’s Color Tool gave us a variety of different options, but mostly had different hues and shades of red, orange, yellow, and dark blue. We decided to use the ones with most of the colors mentioned, since it gives enough of a contrast and pop by adding both yellow and dark blue.
As for our article titles, our sense of humor is…specific. Since most of us are exhausted, sleep deprived, and halfway insane, they weren’t too difficult to come up with. Who said vices and sins couldn’t be made to be funny?
Overall, we had a lot of fun and laughs with this project. Working together with this specific group of people is always a blast.
