Image result for horror backgroundThis was the initial layout I
chose for the magazine cover, as I was inspired by magazines such
as Fangoria and Horror Hound. Even though I chose to create a Total
Film magazine, I decided to follow conventions of the 2 magazines
shown on the right, as they both only feature horror films. I
especially like the film strip effect on the top magazine, as it
evidently shows to the audience that the magazine specifically
looks at films. Hence, I decided to incorporate this idea into my
own magazine, which was supposed to be on the left. Therefore, I
thought of taking the main image of the antagonist by asking her to
hold up a black cloth, as I only wanted half of her face in the
image. However, when all the features were put in place, I didnt
think the magazine cover looked very eye-catching, hence, I decided
to ask some of my peers, who were also my target audience, whether
or not they liked the cover. From the responses I received, I
realised that the main image I chose wasnt very powerful and didnt;
bring out the magazine cover as I wanted it to. Furthermore, I was
also given the suggestion to look at Total Film house styles and
refer to it when choosing the main image, as well as where to place
the features. I took this feedback into consideration and decided
to completely change the layout of my magazine cover.

firstly decided to retake pictures of the antagonist. In order to
find out which image looked the most effective, we asked some our
target audience about which looked the most appealing. Thereafter,
when we had chosen our final main image for the magazine cover, I
decided to manipulate the image to make it stand out even more and
look scary at the same time. In order to manipulate it, I changed
the levels of the image to make it look a bit darker, as I wanted
the antagonists face to look mysterious. Then, I enlarged the
original image to fit the page size, as I wanted the villain's face
to be the centre of attention.

for the magazine cover, after taking inspiration from Total Film
house style. I noticed that Total Film magazines typically had film
names of upcoming/released movies, hence, I chose to include this
at the top of the cover, above the magazine name. The font I used
for this was TW Cen MT bold, as it looked fairly simple. However,
due to the background and the text both being white, I decided to
add some effects to it, such as Bevel and Emboss, Inner Shadow,
Inner Glow and Drop Shadow. This resulted in making the font pop
and look more clearer than before. The Total Film font was taken
from Google Images, which I resized to fit the page. The date of
the magazine and issue number consists of the font Myriad Pro
Condensed, which looked very appealing due to the thin letters. For
the website of the magazine, I decided to use the same font but
added a bold effect to it, so that the web address is more
prominent. For the headings of the coverlines, I used the font
Myriad pro Bold Condensed again, as I wanted my front cover to look
cohesive. The colour of the text was yellow, as it really stood out
and attracted the audience. The subheadings however, were a
different font as I used TW Cen MT Bold, as both the fonts worked
well together. I chose the same shade of red for this as I did for
my other products (poster and trailer). Also, because it was such a
bold colour, it complimented the darkness of the main image in the
background. We also decided to change font for the our film name
from the font chosen from Dafont.com, to Vani Bold. We chose to do
this as this font was very similar to the film The Conjuring, from
which we took inspiration. Furthermore, I concluded that this font
looked much better than the one before, mainly due to its
simplicity. I also decided to include a rectangle incorporated with
the text, World Exclusive. I used the font TW Cen MT Bold for this
and included this as I wanted to create an incentive for my target
audience. I also added effects to this Bevel and Emboss and Drop
Shadow, as I wanted the text to stand out. Below the film name, I
added a pull quote in the font Myriad Pro Bold Condensed, however,
I used a bigger size and a different colour for the name of the
girl playing the role of the antagonist. I did this as I wanted the
actresss name to stand out, which would intrigue the viewer
further.

Image result for horror backgroundThis was the final magazine
cover for our film. For this I made a few slight changes such as
removing the puff which read World Exclusive. I made this decision
as I felt it made the magazine not look as similar to the house
style of Total Film. Also, I received feedback from same of my
target audience regarding their views on the new layout, as
compared to the initial one. The opinions of my target audience
suggested that the puff looked a bit random and wasnt too
necessary. Therefore, I chose to remove it.
Another change I made was by cropping the cross graphic on the
bottom left of the cover, as by doing this is resembled to a
crucifix. In my opinion, this was very effective as it related to
the genre of our film and furthermore, this iconography was also
used throughout the 2 other products created. I also decided to
move the barcode to the bottom of the magazine, as before it was
near the coverlines and made the magazine look cluttered overall.
By changing the position of the barcode, the magazine looked much
spaced out.
