Im under a lot of pressure at the minute so any advice would be really helpful…

I have to have a magazine ready for professional printing in one day and although most of the internal stuff is finished (editing,layout etc), the cover isn’t. All I was told was that it is based on the whole american culture/gangster theme, which I dont know a lot about. Any ideas on what to use front and back cover???
I have been given no guidelines so any suggestions would be amazing.
Also I thought of using a graffiti font for the writing but would it be legible engouh? What do you think??
Once again Thank You for any help

Are you a member of any professional associations that do this sort of thing? Maybe you could go to their website and bounce ideas off them.

well you could have the background like a brick wall and then have the title in graffiti… and incorporate “gangster” themes like guns and maybe cars and money and stuff like that…

Oh!! Sounds like a great project! I don’t have that background, so I would be of no help at all! Your idea sure sounds great to me tho! Good luck!

Whatever your mind imagines…

Are you supposed to be current or historical? I suppose you are not supposed to mix your themes. I don’t know what the assignment was!

current more so - but you should be able to tell what the theme is. I really wasn’t given any instructions except gangster!

The first link might be the most helpful to you if you are simply seeking a “visualization”; the other links go deeper into the subject of sociology.

And then, of course, you can do even more research by using the links on this post:

I found that first link, by the way, by typing “american gangsters” into a search engine … many of which you’ll find in the above link.

Hmmmm…..What do you think of when you hear the word “ganster?”
