Earlier this week, I saw an inspiring post in the class Discord from someone else who had taken on this “Vogue Challenge” assignment. I loved the way they played around with the O, changing it to be a paw print to represent their dog. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a way to do a similar trick that worked and looked good, so I had to keep mine pretty simple. Regardless, I feel that I captured the essence of Vogue in my attempt. I searched my archives for a photo of myself that would fit the aesthetic well and came across one from around 4 or 5 years ago. To help create a narrative for my piece, I figured the theoretical story on me in the magazine could be about my journey since then and how far I’ve come, hence the caption/tagline.

For the “Vogue” at the top, I wanted to have it match a color in the photo, but I didn’t want it to be too light or too dark. I was able to use the eyedropper tool to grab the color from my right shoulder and it ended up working really well. Then, I felt that I should use a lighter color for the caption to stand out against my clothes. The design for the front cover of Vogue is generally pretty simplistic, but I think that’s one of the great things about it. There isn’t too much pulling you away, distracting you, or confusing you. Instead, it has a purpose and I feel that my final result achieves that.

“For this assignment, I was inpired by Carson Berrier’s “Creat A Magazine Cover” assignment. It reminded me of the time I did the “Vogue Challenge” on Instagram a couple of months ago. The steps for this process are easy, first make sure you have and Instagram account, then proceed to take some really cool pictures, either with your phone or a camera. Then email the photo to yourself, download it and head of to Instagram. Make sure the photo has good lighting and your image is clear. Go to story section of instagram and edit your photos from your gallery. Make sure you put “Vogue” at the top in the “Times New Roman” font, add a caption or headline, and you’re ready to go!”

For this assignment, I had to find a “Vogue-quality” photo of myself. Or at least, one that was close enough to Vogue-quality. Once I found that, I took my little happy self to Photoshop, cut myself out and completely eliminated the background, and then pasted the figure of myself onto a photoshoot-style background. After that, I went to the story section of instagram and took out the new photo, then put “Vogue” at the top in the “Times New Roman” font with a new caption. What do you think?

I was scrolling for a while, looking for the perfect assignment for me to do. When I saw the Vogue challenge let me just say I was intrigued. As someone who loves a good photoshoot, I was down for the challenge. The assignment’s instructions were to take a picture and edit it into a VOGUE cover.

I had a lot of fun with this assignment. I took my picture and used Instagram to edit the words on my Cover to say “Vogue” and I added my caption. I posted the picture on my Twitter feed as well. I’m not one to gas myself up, but I am really happy with the way it turned out. Here’s how it looks:

I recently decided to get a haircut so I made my caption centered around a “new year, new look.” type of vibe. I guess all you need to be. a Vogue model is a photo editing app to add the words “VOGUE.”

I saw the VOGUE challenge in the assignment bank and IMMEDIATELY knew exactly what photo I wanted to use. I couldn’t not use my dog I mean come on, LOOK AT HER. She quite literally is a model and obviously models this gorgeous deserve to be on the cover. LIKE COME ON NOW. I was so excited to make this one for her.

I quickly opened Instagram and got to work. I chose my photo and uploaded it to the story section, then found the classic VOGUE put it at the top, and created a caption. I am not going to lie but I think it turned out pretty good. I know that the assignment example was to post one of ourselves but I just really wanted to use my dog for it. It reminded me of watching the Bob Ross video. Bob started out with an idea of painting a landscape and during mine he set out just to do one with the sunset and trees. As the painting went on though he decided to include a cabin and then he decided to include a path and smoke coming out of the chimney. He didn’t follow a strict plan, he gave himself room to be creative. I like to think I sort of embodied that idea with this assignment. I strayed a little bit away from the original idea (posting a photo of myself) and came away with a totally awesome piece of art and photo that is undeniably VOGUE worthy.

For this assignment, I created a Vogue cover. I remember a lot of people doing this on social media a couple years ago, so I was excited to try it.

I chose a photo of myself that I really like. Instead of just typing “VOGUE” onto the photo, I used the app Superimpose to design it in a way that I thought worked better. I chose the placement of the word at the top because I thought it looked best, and usually that is where it is. Then I used a masking tool to get rid of some of the G so it didn’t cover my face. People can still tell what the word is supposed to say, especially since it is a magazine cover. I really love how it turned out.
