MAGAZINE COVER PHOTO SHOOT
After I started taking pictures for my Magazine cover I drew up some ideas as to what I wanted it to look like. Having looked at the posters that had been published professionally I drew up the conclusion that I should have a weapon present in the image. I decided I wanted use the Empire magazine title. These are the photographs I took; I narrowed them down to four that I could possibly use.

MAGAZINE COVER SKETCHED DRAFT
I drew up a sketch of what I wanted my magazine cover to look like. I took some more photos in this medium close up position so that my Magazine Cover would look like the one I set out in my drawing,
MAGAZINE COVER IDEAS AND FEEDBACK
Once I had chosen I began editing them on a few software applications. Picasa 3, Paint and Adobe Photoshop. Magazine First Draft (Drawing) I decided that my magazine should look like the limited edition Empire magazine, whose front cover wholly centered on the main film. An example of this is the James Bond on the front cover,, I showed this magazine to 14 people, of the 14, 12 felt that the organization of my magazine cover was simple yet effective and that an addition of stories that feature inside could overcrowd the image. Participants gave me some general feedback on what they thought about it. These are just a few of the statements;“
The colors used do not conflict, however if you were to add ‘stories inside’ labels at the sides this may steer the audience away from the main image” “
I think that the empire logo works well on it, I like how the knife sits on top of the letter”
Adobe Photoshop CS6
I used Adobe Photoshop to edit the image and add text to my magazine cover.

I lifted a PNG file of the Empire Magazine Logo and inserted the image into Photoshop using the ‘Open as Smart Object’. I generated my barcode on a website before importing it to Photoshop (unto my magazine).
