2. Front Cover Process
For my title of the magazine I
wanted it to stand out and to be
eye catching, I also wanted it to go
in theme with my magazine, so I
went for a gold movie style look.
I’ve included the details of what’s
inside the magazine and the main
titles that would be covered so the
reader automatically knows what will
be discussed inside.
For my main image I wanted it to stand
out, so I chose the joker due to his vibrant
clothing which contrasts against the
darkness of the background and the joker
is an easy recognizable figure so it
immediately catches the audiences eyes.
I’ve included images from other
movies as well to show the
audience what the magazine will
feature, so if they don’t like the
look of one movie, hopefully
they’ll be one that they are
interested in.
I’ve included a quote
from the movie as
well, that can relate
to the magazine.
I’ve put what the magazine is about
in bold white writing so it’s different
to the rest of the fonts and it draws
the reader to know what the
magazine is about.

3. Reflection
- I would include the fonts I’ve used in my front cover for my final cover, I was
thinking of doing my one very similar to my experiment, I would include the tape
roll but I would probably add more to fit more movies inside. The colour scheme I
was going for is black, blue and gold and the writing font white because I think
those colours have worked well in my experiment.
- The thing I would change in my final cover would be the main picture because I
have to include a picture I’ve taken myself I would either include a picture of
someone holding a directors board in front of their face or someone sat in a chair
eating popcorn with 3D glasses on.
- My central image I want to be eye catching, in my experiment I chose a picture of
the Joker because the clothing and choice of colours he’s wearing is eye catching
and as the joker is a recognizable figure the magazine would stand out. So when I
come to my main cover I want the picture to stand out so I would get my person to
wear colours that would contrast against the dark background of my cover.
- The main thing I will change in my cover is the central image, I will also try
different fonts but I quite like how my experiments turned out so I think I’d stick to
the same style as that.

4. Double Page Process
Joker
1917
Once Upon a time in
Hollywood
LittleWomen
Jojo Rabbit
‘ I usedtothinkmylifewasa tragedy. But
NowI realize, it’sa comedy’
‘ ereisonlyonewaythiswar
ends.’
‘Anybodyaccidentlykillsanyone
in a ght, theygotojail. It’scalled
manslaughter’
‘ Lifeistooshort tobeangryat one’ssisters’
‘Loveisthestrongest thingin theworld’
For my layout for the double page I
want it something like this, in my
actual one I would include more
writing.
I’ve included a page which has pictures from
the movies and quotes from them next to
them, I thought this might interest the reader
more.
I’ve done the title for the page the
same color as the title on the front of
the magazine.
I’ve put a
background image
on page so it wasn’t
just black because I
found that quite
boring and I think it
would draw people
in having a
background picture
I wanted a page
with less writing
on and it can
focus on other
subjects I was
going to put a
description next
to the picture but
I didn’t have
much room so I
went with quotes
instead.

5. Reflection
- I would include the pictures and movie quotes in my final product because I think
it would work quite well, in my final product I want to do 3 pages so the single
page can be the movie quote page.
- I would also include a background image but not the same one I’ve used in my
experiment because when I was trying to put in writing you couldn’t see it because
the face is the same colour as my writing, which is why there’s not as much writing
on the first page.
- I would also stick with my background colour being black because it stays in theme
with my front cover and the font I used for the title I will keep the same as well
because I think the gold goes well against the black.
- In my final product I would probably experiment more with adding more images
and text just so it doesn’t look too plain.
- I would add a list for my top 10 movies as well which I haven’t included in my
experiment and I might try and have a picture that spreads across to the other
page as well.
