Complex is a magazine for men that features the latest in street wear fashion, sneakers, gadgets, and music. My goal was to create an original cover that represented Complex with respect to its previous covers and also incorporate my own unique vision. Jay-Z was chosen as the subject of the cover. His image conveys a since of power grabs the viewers attention.  Incorporating the futuristic Star Trek glasses into the cover lent itself well to the comedic elements that Complex is known for, without making the subject look foolish. They also give the viewer a hint as to what the cover story is about. Photoshop was used to mask the subject, as well as the glasses, from their respective backgrounds.
The combinations of dark violet, magenta, and yellow, were used to portray a feeling of energy without resorting to bright neon colors that would not only misrepresent the subject but also distract from it as well.
