The poster depicts a close-up of a man's face in the foreground with smoke in the background revealing another face. This establishes the horror genre. Minimal text includes the title, date, and actor's name in a consistent rugged style building the film's identity. The second face appears to be screaming, implying it is a haunting ghost. Both faces are cut-off, suggesting a connection between the characters. The man's partially hidden face raises questions about a possible twist.

Slickk magazine improvements pdf
- 1. Slickk Magazine Improvements DEBBIE ONYEMELUKWE
- 2. Feedback After submitting the first draft of my music magazine ‘Slickk’ I received some feedback to make some changes and therefore end up with the best final product possible. I found this very helpful as I got the viewpoint from my peers and their opinion which is extremely valuable as this is the target audience my magazine would hopefully sell to. The feedback I received was: • Crop/Clone corners, fade edges to black • ‘December 2010’ should line up to the last ‘K’ on ‘Slickk’ or should be made smaller and be placed next to the issue number • ‘2 hours in 2 pages’ should be a different font. Rephrase sentence. • On the button, rub out a little bit of the splatter on model’s arm and fingers. • On the button: Win tickets to the VMA’s •Keep font the same for ‘Hip Hop is Dead’
- 3. Using the Clone Stamp tool Feedback: Crop/Fade corners to take away the flash corners In order to improve upon this point, I used the Clone Stamp tool to clone the edges of the flash unwanted effect. I selected the tool, then pressed the ‘Alt’ key to choose which part of the wall I wanted to clone in on top of the corners. As you can see from the image to the right, you can then start to colour over the desired area.
- 4. Keeping the font the same Feedback: Don’t change font midway through a sentence In order to improve upon this point, I used the Text tool and changed the font of ‘dead’ back to ‘Action of the Time Upper Case’. However, because this font was somewhat larger, I then had to resize the word in order for it to fit in the required structure.
- 5. Improving the button Feedback: Change the layout within the button In order to improve upon this action point, I increased the size of the button and positioned certain words on a new line. I also put the ‘VMA’s part on a new line as well as making it bigger and bolder. This was to add emphasis and draw the attention of the reader.
- 6. Rubbing the splatter Feedback: Reduce the amount of splatter marks In order to make this improvement, I used the rubber tool to erase the number of splatter marks on the model’s arm and all of it on his right hand. I didn’t delete all of the marks on his right arm in order for the splatter effect to still come across.
- 7. Aligning the date Feedback: Align the date In order to align the date with the magazine’s masthead I went on ‘View’ and then chose the ‘Grid’ from the options that followed. The grid allowed me the see where things lined up and gave a more accurate alignment for the ‘0’ to be lined with the the ‘K’ on ‘Slickk’.
- 8. Explanatory Text Feedback: Rephrase the explanatory text and choose a different font I changed the font of the explanatory text to ‘TW Cen MT’ because it suited better with the accompanying font of ‘Hand of Sean’ and so this could also be my main font used in my Table of Contents. I also changed the phrase to something more interesting. I added a pun within the text as it’s a typical media technique used to entice customers into buying the magazine.
