2. The program that I used to create my magazine front cover was
photoshop.
This is the magazine
front cover I was
following the
conventions of.
3. After looking at the Prometheus magazine
front cover I decided to use an image of
the main character in an actual setting in
the teaser trailer, as you can see from the
background. This was also evident in the
Prometheus magazine front cover where
you can see the particular character looks
to have some sort of spaceship behind her
4. • This is where I encountered my first problem as you can see with the
titling of the ‘EMPIRE’ my title on my magazine front cover isn’t the same
the reason for this is because I couldn't find the exact same font used by
Empire so I used the font which I thought looked similar to the font used
by them.
• The 2nd problem that I encountered was that the title ‘EMPIRE’ had some
letters placed behind the head of the main image. I struggled to follow this
convention but after I watched this tutorial located below I was able to do
so.

5. In order to over come my problem with not being able
to get the Empire text behind the image of the
character I had to use the pen tool to cut around the
head of the character. Then duplicated the layer and
placed the layer above the one that had the Empire
title.
6. I decided to place the title of my film around
the torso area of the image , reason being was
that this was also done on the Prometheus
front cover. I was initially going to go with the
colour blue but after realising that this colour
would clash with my characters costume I went
with red which is a bold colour that would
stand out.
7. I included the exact same selling line as the Prometheus magazine
front over but decided to us a different font and a different scheme
of colors
8. This is how my magazine front cover
looked without the inclusion of my main
image and background.
9. Similar to the Prometheus magazine front
cover I planned on adding the same selling
line ‘ THE WORLD EXCLUSIVE EVERYONE
WANTED’ I once again with red to reinforce
the importance of what’s being said.
10. • Where I departed from the conventions of the Empire magazine was with what the
image showed, whilst my image showed the head to abdominals the Prometheus
magazine front cover showed the to the knee caps of the female character.
11. Here you can see almost all of the detail on my magazine
front cover.

magazine front cover.
