Hotthouse

Objective: This was a magazine proposal. Basically we were trying to nail down the look, feel, and attitude of a potential magazine through a sample cover and spreads. Our magazine, “Hotthouse,” is intended to be a safe space for women to talk about sex. Basically a friendly and appealing alternative for women, by women, to the pornography that is out there for men.

Tools used: First of all, Adobe® InDesign® was invaluable in laying out a multipage document. We used it through the entire process of selecting typefaces and working with them in our layout. Almost all the imagery was made, touched up, or composed in Adobe Photoshop®. Much of it was hand done and then cut out in Photoshop, and some was also manipulated. Some of the work on the cover was done in Adobe Illustrator®.
