Development of Magazine Cover
To begin our magazine cover we first
researched into existing ‘EMPIRE’ magazine covers.
We decided to use the same
imageas our poster, as we felt it would
be a more consistent
use of merchandise.
We again, addeddifferent filters,
relatingto our horror genre.
Thishelped to create a
more distorted image
of the mask making it
more spooky,
However, we did not
want this image to be a replica of our poster,So we
used different filters. E.g. a black
and white filter
This was an initial layoutfor our magazine cover, however we found that thebackground was too harshand washed out the mainimage. We also decided touse Empire magazine as a posed to Total Film because we felt the red colour of ‘Empire’ fitted better with our genre, due to red being a symbol of danger. Also we felt the white writing was quite bland and red gave the cover some colour.
When researching other magazine
covers we found they all had the logo of the magazine
creators at the top of the cover.In addition to this, the name of the film
the magazine is promoting is also a key feature on the magazine cover.
This text always appears above the logo, we used motion to create this font so that
it was slightly distorted fitting with our genre.
The magazine covers also revealed what other articles are included in the magazine. To make this, we used motion and gained inspiration from existing empire magazines in the way that it is laid out - a large plus sign, along side titles of films included.
Other add ons we used include a bar code, and a
badge stating that the magazine released is the companies 25th birthday
issue.
