Draft Magazine Cover Process

NEXT....

I used this theme because my magazine research showed that in each magazine there is a running theme of about 4 colours, I decided to pick colours that blended in with the magazine, but that also made the magazine stand out. At the top here you can see that I incorporated the same sort of title they use in their magazine also into mine.

Similarly in the magazine research that I looked at the writing on the bottom or side of the page, I decided to change that element of my magazine a bit, because I wanted to make sure that it fitted in with my picture. 

To make the magazine realistic I decided to add different phrases and words that would catch a by standers attention and will make them want to read the magazine. I also blended it in with the colour of the magazine title, because it showed a running theme in the magazine, which made it more presentable, and it looked extremely more appealing.

In the magazine there seemed to be a lot missing in the sense of gaps and space on the magazine, I did further research which helped me decide to advertise free posters in the magazine, this made it more worth the price, and people would buy it.

The magazine I was making was meant to be advertising the film trailer that we were making, so I decided to take the film cover and to put it into my front of the magazine, this way everything was going according to plan, and there were links between all the tasks.

MAGAZINE COVER

This was my final magazine cover, I was really pleased with the outcome as a lot of the things were thought through like the use of using the image on the side that would advertise the film as well as attract people to go and see it, also the fact that my model was also featured in the film made it better because the inside of the magazine supposedly would have an interview from her. I made the picture look glamorous because I wanted it to be evident that she was a rich famous holly wood actress, and she is coming to act in the typical modern day film. These were all features that I thought would appeal to my target audience. However some things in the magazine did not work out as well, after having a lengthy look at my magazine cover, I realised that there were many elements that I also did not like much about my magazine, for example, I felt like, although many parts of the magazine did, not all parts of the magazine obeyed the rule of thirds, and also the more I looked at it, the more I found that the magazine didn't look busy enough, at the same time I thought there was too much on the magazine. The front cover did seriously leave me puzzled, so I decided to use one of my other images to see whether I could improve on the front cover, so I made another front cover from scratch.
