Final Front Cover

Final Double page article

Double page progress 2

I then added the text to the page. I originally had the text just on the page in paragraphs however I thought it would look better and more like an article if it was set out in columns. Since my review included spoilers I added this at the top to warn readers.

Final Magazine Cover

Main Story Hook

Since the Mockingjay review was the most important story hook I wanted it to be centred on the magazine and have the largest font. I used the font from the actual movie on the cover. I did this as the font and colour of the text is already identified with the movie therefore it is easily recognisable to fans.

Banner

When looking at existing magazines I noticed a lot of them have a banner at the bottom of the cover. I found a style model from Empire magazine(Top Image) which had a banner at the bottom of the magazine. I liked the layout of this one so I used it as a guideline for mine(Bottom image.) I added celebrity names that would be included in the magazine. This attracts a wider audience as fans of these actors/actresses will want to purchase the magazine.

Story Hooks

My magazine needed story hooks from other articles that could potentially be in the magazine. I added these story hooks on the right side of the image. At first I had the story hooks at either side of the image however I found that it covered too much of the main image so I placed it all on one side of the cover. I wanted a range of colours for this to make the text really stand out. It was difficult to use red as it is the colour of her clothing so when I tried this the text wasn't clear enough however I wanted to use more colours than black and white. I still wanted the colour of the text to fit with the colour scheme to I used the colour picker tool on Photoshop. I could see hints of orange in Katniss's outfit so the colour picker tool allowed me to pick up that colour from the image and use it for my text. This meant the colour still linked in with the main image as it was picked from the image itself.

Total Film Masthead

 

 

I began by getting the masthead for my magazine. I wanted my magazine to be apart of Total film so I went to Google images and used their logo. I used Total Film for my Masthead as it is a well known popular film magazine so I thought it would work well with my magazine.
