1. The picture and colour -With a magazine cover I felt it should use the two main characters as it would make themagazine seem more appealing with more information. I took many shots with this as well asthe poster but using the same sort of angle. I edited the background so it was white and simple,made it seem more effective for a magazine as its meant to appeal to buy. I liked the way whenI rubbed the background out on Photoshop and made it white it gave a glow/blur effect on thecharacters making them seem important and what this trailer is about. With the position of themale behind I think is really effective as he is after her and it makes him seem more mysteriouswhilst she is in fear.The font colour was going to be black and white but for a magazine I felt it was too boring itneeded some colour but pink and blue was too happy or creative, it just didnt work well withme so I changed it to red and I actually really liked it. I highlighted the main words in red to catchthe readers attention. Black, red and white also fits in with my genre as when I did someaudience research for what colour font choice should I used on a online poll website and themain thoughts were black and white or black and red so they worked well all together for thismagazine.Font -The font was taken from a website called 101 free fonts, I used it for my poster font as well so itlinked togehter nicely. I used Century Gothic font for the style on the left hand side as I felt itwas basic and easy to read but also was the same in the poster. I wanted the main bit about themagazine cover such as the film Abudcted to be seen first so I made the font choice bigger andbolder than the other styles. All the writing font is the same so it connected together such as theprice and the issue number. 2. Layout -The layout of the magazine cover was hard to decide as looking at other magazines forinspiration its usually the picture in the middle standing out and the writing all around it. Notalways but a lot of the time. I wanted to try something different be a bit more creative and usedthe term rule of thirds. I put the picture to the right so the text was to the left to make a clearseparation. Its not a particularly crazy font cover as some magazines have lots of writing, lots ofcolour but I just didnt think it was necessary. I feel the layout works really well as the pictureand text both contrast each other so much it balances it out especially with the glow around thecharacters. Little things like the bar code, issue number price I think were all in great positions asthey are easy to see but not taking up to much room.
