Process of magazine
View more PowerPoint from MelsMedia
1-The magazine front cover took time and planning.
After viewing several different posters we saw how most contain the feature films protagonist character as this is the best way to dive straight into positive advertising. The leading character is who we indent our audience to relate to and understand most.
We took a still image of our protagonist and edited it in Adobe Photoshop by cutting the character out of there existing image and then filtering a posterized effect on it to create a comic-strip superhero look to the character. This provokes the character as the hero which we want her to look like. - Enforcing Prop's theory of obvious fairytale characters. As the image which included our character was a busy distracting and inappropriate mis en scene to compliment her we decided to place her on a background we made which is quite plain allowing us to fill the space to make the overall magazine interesting. Here we have created a blue and white merge Blue being one of the two chosen colours from our colour scheme. This now pushes forwards the importance of colour for our film and character.
2-Our next important section to include was the magazine title. We had conducted a lot of research to come up with an appropriate title lining to the magazine genre (film review) our final choice was FLIX. This is placed at the top of the page following conventions. This also seemed appropriate as it's an eye catting position and when placed in the stands in newsagents and other shops this will be clearly visible, also helped by the large bold font. The reasoning for choosing red is to show that it's an independent film review magazine there fore the readers will recognise this instantly, rather than if we changed it to fit the colour scheme. Red is powerful choice.
We did however place the featuring character over the top of the text to show authority the review has over this issue and also that the character holds within the film is powerful, this is shown through.
The film strip is placed at the bottom to place other films the magazine will feature, this is kept subtle yet relevant to the magazine genre.
3- Next we included vital text informing the audience about the review and which page to find the review on. This was put to the left of the character to fill space and written in yellow, the other chosen colour from the films colour scheme. This also holds a bold black outline like the title to resemble the superhero comic book effect. Some of the text is different size and angle to keep it interesting to view.
4- In the sweet spot we included a cover mount which relates to the audience and made this interesting to view with bold text and shapes which stand out in a comic book style. This free mask will also encourage our target audience to purchase this magazine. As we're aiming it at teens they're intrigued by freebies and a lot of fan material.
It was import to include the issue number and date for the audience.
5- Lastly we included a web address which creates different media access which our target audience lives and breaths around these days so they will enjoy the generation connection.
The bar code is an essential section of the magazine by law. We included the price by this which by research we found is priced just under average for this style of magazine which by doing this will encourage more people to view our magazine as it's good for value and our target audience is known for having the most disposable income out of all the groups in the British Social Grading Scale so they will be more likely to purchase the magazine due to it's great value.
Other images showing other films were placed in the film strip along with page numbers to inform the audience.
Lastly in the empty space we included more information to intrigue our audience using exciting shapes and advertising exciting offers within the magazine. The shape is kept to colour scheme to that the front cover is over powered by it to make it obvious which is the feature film.
This was all created on Adobe Photoshop using individual layers for each section.
