Process Of Film Magazine Production...

This is my original film magazine and below are the steps I took to improve, according to the feedback I recieved.

The first thing I wanted to do was improve the skyline to look more professional.

After doing research and looking at other film magazines I found that they had a strip of coulour along the top to make it stand out more.

Using photoshop I created a rectangle and made the size fit on the page. I then filled it in using the paintbucket tool, I decided to make it the blue that matched the text so that I had continuity. The other reason was because my audience said that more of the blue should be used.

I also had to change the colour of the text at this point. I chose black as I didn't want most of the text to white especially since it was so close to the title. Having it black means that both the skyline and title stand out from each other as they are different colours.

The feedback I got suggested that some of the text needed to be different from each other.

I changed the font for the date and issue number and put it in ittalics as this was a common convention of other magazines.

 



Due to the feedback I recieved I made the anchorage text a different font to the sell lines, which in my opinion adds interest and also sepeartes the different item, showing that the anchorage text is more impotant and corresponds with the main image.

I aso made the anchorage text larger as some of the feedback suggested that I needed to use up more of the space.

 



The last change I made was to add in a puff.

I inserted a puff as some of the feedback was that the cover was boring and I found that a puff was a common item on other magazines which add interest to the page. I also thought that it would be a good way to fill in some of the space.

To do this I used the shape tool to create a circle, which I then filled in using the paint bucket tool.

I made the puff blue to have continuity within the magazine and also to give the audience what they wanted. The font used inside is similar, but slightly different to the font used for the sell lines as I didn't want them to clash. I made up the title of the film "The Chilling" and made this a different font to the rest to make it stand out and I think that the font portrays a horror or thriller effect.
