Magazine Front Cover

This is mine and my partners final magazine front cover. We tried to re-create a traditional movie magazine front cover in which our movie trailer was being advertised and was the main story. This again was created on the mac computers we are fimiliar with on the software of photoshop. As i mentioned, this made it simple for us as we knew how to use it due to previous tasks.
We stuck to our colour scheme of black and white but it looked too dull to be a magazine cover. This is why there is also red featured on the front cover which sets the mise en scene of a horror trailer. This adds emphasis and this si what we wated to create for our audience to visualize.
We used several components which most other magazines used and we done this to look professional. The first we used was a pug, this is feature on most magazine covers and just draws attention to audiences. This is what we wanted to do, we wanted to attract our audience and this is the reason for us putting it in. We also used a title for obvious reasons and a barcode. The barcode give the magazine cover a look as it it was real and would be on sale in a shop. The use of stories running sown the side of the cover is also present as this is a common magazing cover component. the rhetorical question is also present again as it fits in with our movie trailer.
The biggets part in which tells our audience that it is our movie trailer is the image. Again, we have included the image of our serial killer and this tells the audinece immediately that it is our film being advertised. However, the audience will have had to see the trailer to distinguish this, vice versa. So by me and my partner using these conventions, we tried to create a realisitic movie magazing cover that was advertising our horror movie.
