Magazine Draft.

As well as doing a draft for our film poster we decided to do one for our magazine front cover too. We researched conventions of a magazine cover to decide what to put on there. We found that on magazine covers, the title is big and bold usually at the top of the page, the font is not the same on the whole magazine, different colours of fonts are used and there is always a bar code on it. We chose the name 'CineMag' because its short but memorable and it also tells the audience what the magazine entails. We decided to turn the word 'mag' on its side so it wouldn't look so cluttered. we also added some text above the title because we saw some magazines do that. When we were researching magazines we found that some magazines have a lot of text on it and some had very little. We decided that we would have little text, just the important things so you could see more of the photograph. We used red, white and grey for our colour scheme. We used the red for the more interesting words so it would be more eye-catching. We added a picture of a new upcoming director because we saw on other magazines there would be more than one photograph. We used our main actress's name Megan Curtis instead of her character so we could introduce her as an actress more than the character she plays. We put her name in big writing so people notice it.
We're not sure if we want the photograph on the cover of our magazine to be Megan in character, or as the actress. We decided we would take pictures of both and see which one works better.
