This is our final magazine cover that I have produced for our media studies project, as you can see we have only added a few things from the second version, however the final additions are crucial, I added the banner and the puff which makes it seem more like a magazine. I added a small contrast change to make Conor's face look brighter, there is also an extra tagline introducing Conor as a USP. One of the simple but crucial last changes was the addition of a price tag and website at the top of the magazine.
Second Draft Magazine Cover:
There is a huge change from the first to the second draft of the magazine cover, there are four main changes; the addition of the image of Conor who takes up the majority of the page, then the addition of the title of our trailer, tag lines and finally the I did not want a blank black background because it made the poster look too simple moreover other magazines tend to not have a blank background. A small change I made was adding a little piece of film reel behind the word film in the title of the magazine "FILMSPOT".
First Draft Magazine Cover:
This is the first draft of the magazine cover, as you can see there is no background, or tag lines. I had decided on the layout and the colour scheme early on by looking at other Empire and Sight and sound magazines. All the drafts of the magazine cover have been made in photoshop.
Alternative Magazine Draft:
This is a version of the magazine cover which we scrutinised and took constructive criticism from, we decided that the colour scheme did not suit the horror genre and that it was too bland as a magazine cover. Obviously we were not finished however this was the point of major change in our poster leading to the majority of the final touches.
