So here's what i found
Main concept: Magazine
So with both products they are two very different genres being one being trap rap with a bit of a vintage rap style and the other being alternative indie so they are both very much opposites
1. the first cover would take inspiration from the album cover from MF Doom and Czarface Super what ? which have massive influence to marvel and is a well known album from his. However, i wouldn't want to do the comic like drawing and instead take real photos which is where my second inspiration for the cover is the famous and well-known rap group around NWA.
The Mf doom cover would focus on the marvel intertextual references to marvel as well as MF Doom very popular artist to many people and pay tribute to him in the magazine can show some intertextual references .
The NWA cover is what i would focus that actual cover to look like as this was what typical trap rap groups and their covers would look like. It would be me multiple times to take yet again inspiration from recent marvel films with big action groups such as infinity war and endgame and having coverlines which relate to marvel films.
2. the next Cover would explore more of a creativity of the cover where it mixes elements of the early 2000's with he start of the interent and with some alternative/ indie genre and one way to include elements of nostalgia is involving Fruiter Areo with the cover explore the ideas of the music artist and the freeing feeling people get from areo and taking inspiration form Beabadoobee's album cover adding my own drawings in the cover.
So for next cover i'm going for a vintage style with the frutiger Aero aesthetic and some hand drawn art that refernces other indie/alternative artists. This is the main intertextual references as the frutiger aero aesthetic which when technology started ramping up in the early 2000's and changed forever this style of art was used frequently with advertising their products. This along side with the and drawn stuff would imply a unique vibe the artist and express the joy of the 2000's and nostalgia developing a style outside what currently is going in.
With silverback publishing their main focus is publishing real art that the audience can rely on and enjoy. My covers showcase art that mostly isn't seen anymore as music is ever changing and evolving genres and music die out and new ones come in and these covers focus on genres that focus aren't normally mentioned anymore but are loved by most.
Website
Im leaning towards more of cozy vibe similar to coupe de main's website where its simplistic to the audiences where text boxes and news is easily available to see. It would attract the audience due to its colourful and easy design for it and colour and bringing nice vibes for the reader and not as aggressive.
