Final Magazine Cover

 This is the final draft of our magazine cover. After a lot of edting and arranging the fonts and images on the piece, we were finally happy with the way it looked. We decided to call the magazine 'Cine Mag' and we put this on the cover in capital letters because we have seen that this is typically what magazine titles look like. One of the things we knew we must include was a bar code. This makes our magazine cover look more realistic because that is what all magazine would have on them. We also had to include the price of our magazine and the date it was released. As well as this we added a website name to the top of the cover and the issue number of the magazine. We decided to use this image which is a photo of Megan in character. We felt that this photo really captured her emotions that she would be feeling in the film. We also felt that the image was of high quality and it fit in with the writing on the magazine cover. On the magazine cover we used similar fonts to the ones we used on our poster. These fonts look quite professional and stand out on the poster. We had some difficulties when choosing font colours and sizes that would be easily seen. The main colours of font we used were grey, black, white and red. These colours are typical of horror or thriller movies and therefore I think they fit in well. As well as the name of our movie and our actress, we knew we had to include information about other movies that the magazine could include. However we made sure that our movie was the main focus of the magazine. We did this by making the font of the actress very large and bold. The name of our movie is also very large and stands out on the magazine cover. We used Photoshop to edit the image on the poster however we did not need to change that much about the photo. I feel that our magazine cover is fairly successful and I particularly like the layout of the writing because it looks professional and neat.
