1. The Making of the Front Cover

So I will start. First of all, this is the actual front cover of the magazine that will be on sale nationwide tomorrow. Photograph by Mika Ninagawa. Cool! http://lockerz.com/s/140903869

After the photograph was taken, we will write a sketch like this. To the fans, sorry, this is my own handwriting. http://lockerz.com/s/140904305

Next, we will estimate where and how big we will put the characters. I found out by writing the name 東方神起, that the name has the “strength”. http://lockerz.com/s/140904760

After you estimate the characters, we start to handwrite the characters carefully, imaging the thickness of the characters. This requires patience. http://lockerz.com/s/140905423

Before we decide upon the actual version, we made 15 different colored versions. We made such ones, too. The characters “Tohoshinki” are not white outlined http://lockerz.com/s/140905792

We made bright red & special pink version. I liked this version, but it wasn’t used http://lockerz.com/s/140906158

This is fluorescence pink x gold. Umm.. this looks rather heavy http://lockerz.com/s/140906499

This version wasn’t used, too. Yunho was shouting the songs of the NEW album during the filming. Incidentally, I’m secrety proud that I made the shy Changmin laugh so much xD http://lockerz.com/s/140907226

2. Additonal Stories

This is the handwritten design for the wall banners (ads) to be placed inside the trains. This was also written by me, please forgive me… http://lockerz.com/s/140907549

This was the poster which was made based on the handwritten design. Yunho and I had a serious talk how to hit the high notes xD http://lockerz.com/s/140907897

3. Others

So these were the making stories of the front cover plus additional info. Tomorrow the magazine will be issued nationwide. Thank you!

I couldn’t decide between gold and gray, and finally decided to use the gray version. For the pink, I selected a noble colored pink.

They are really a good combination. The photograph time was a very happy one.
