Our group started working on a magazine cover, we implemented our knowledge of magazines , of which types they are and what generally is included on the front page.
Looking at various magazine covers from films which were available on online archives and through google searches - we found that there are different fonts used to show diversity and draw attention to different parts of the page. It also emphasises various points , like freebies or interviews.
Photoshop CS5 was used to create a base, we used an image of the teacher in our trailer as the base for the magazine covers, film covers usually have a man taking a powerful / gentalman / sleek & suave look which represents the movie. We felt the image chosen replicated this. Examples of this are
^ Above is the base image we used for the magazine cover.
Below are the stages of creation using photoshop CS5 and various fonts which I thought were suitable.
Initially the magazine was called horror mag , but we decided to change this to thriller mag as it is more suitable for our target audience - as we are not essentially a horror. The image features the conventional strong man. We also added a barcode to make it look authentic. The effects on the text were created by using blending options such as "light" "dissolve" "Overlay" etc.
