Above is an unfinished version of an experiment for a magazine cover for our film, Hangman. This displays features such as the Empire title, including the website, the price and release date for magazine, main article 'Hangman', tagline for main article 'Horror movie of the year' and 'Exclusive pictures on set', a line of images displaying features inside the magazines [new films to be released], a barcode, features relating to the main article 'Top 100 must see supernatural horror films!' and also the beginning of other features at the bottom 'Horror overload' which is a feature taken from another Empire magazine using the Magic Wand tool in Photoshop.
This is the finished version of the above unfinished magazine cover. I have made some minor changes which have made a difference.
One change is the bottom section of the magazine which includes some other features to be included in the magazine. Instead of using text I took from another Empire magazine, which is what I began doing with the 'Horror Overload' text, I instead began using my own text. This is because there was not any other text I could find which would be relevant to use on my magazine cover, for example something relating to horror or a recent film. Instead I have used the font Blue Highway D Type, which is similar to the type of font used for Empire's small text. I used this to differ from Impact, as from my research it's obvious Empire use some differing fonts. I also used differing colours (not just white, instead white and pale blue) to ensure the names of features are obviously seperate and stand out. Also the blue colour I have used is the same as the colouring I used for the other text.
