MY FINAL MAGAZINE EVALUATION

Evaluation

I did a magazine about horror films and promoting horror films. I really like my magazine, because of the colours I have used. I have kept in the colours of three. I also like how well the colours have come together. I like the style of how I have layed the magazine out I think it very straight forward.

Before I could start my magazine, I analysed some before hand, seeing the layouts and the what they used in the front cover of the magazine. What I found was that a lot of magazines which is like my magazine was that they all had the similar layout to what I did. They had the big highlights and the big fonts. If I was to change the layout I would probably put them on the other side and change the position of the actor.

How I did my magazine was on Photoshop I didn't know how to use Photoshop that well cause I've only used it once before, as you can see in my trail poster. I then developed my skills to and made it look better by looking at simple tips on how to use it. What I did was I changed the way it looked as you can see on my blogger, the start of my magazine wasn't the best. But I had a little fiddle with it and changed the colour and the contrast of the shot and made it look like it stands out.

I really like how I have done my magazine because even though I had to mess about and change a lot of the stuff to get the end result I think it was worth it. If I was to do it again I would change the contrast of the Actors face because it looks really dull and really dark, on the magazine. Also If I were to do it again I would also edit the picture better, because when I did it I have to cut around Myles head so it didn't look right but I fixed it in Photoshop. But as a result you can see some white spots round it , were I haven't deleted them, If I were to do it I would blend them in more so you couldn't see it as much.

 How I did it.

How I did my magazine front cover was  I started off by taking a photograph of Myles I had to do a few trail shots of a medium close up. I then added the tag line and put a white stroke on it so that it stood out from the dark red background. I  then I put the text into a white bold font and in big writing so that you can see the text from a far distance. I also added headline at the top . I have put exclusive in red so it stands out. I then added the date and price of the magazine and added the text on top of the yellow board. I also added a red box and changed the front and took the stroke off the Best film of the year tagline, because I thought it would look better.put it in black and white so that it looks a bit like the Skyfall kind of scene with the black and white background.I used the colour yellow to make it more vibrant. I also changed the title instead of red to white and put a stroke on it. I put a small drop shadow on the title of the magazine.

How Effective it is
From my magazine I like the colour scheme, the colours are dark. I like how the yellow colour on the magazine because it stands out like it's saying you need to buy this magazine.  I like how I have made the actor the main focus in the magazine because it will make people want to buy it also. As well as if it's a main well known actor people will buy the magazine simply just for that reason. The writing is big so that it captures the readers attention I think this is crucial when selling a magazine because if you have it really small the reader wouldn't know what it says and it wouldn't stand out from the rest of the magazines. What I also like about the magazine is how it doesn't just have one story to it, it has a couple of different stories on the front of the page, so it gives the audience a variety of subjects to read. The best bit about the magazine I think is the title page and how its a play on words, it makes the the reader remember the magazine.

My Influences
One of my aim influences was one of the magazine which was the one from sky fall, I really liked the colour scheme, And I choosen this colour scheme for my magazine because of how effective it is and how well it stands out from page. My other influence for my magazine was the magazine analysis 3 which I did with Avatar. This influenced me because I liked how they made his face come over the top of the title and the boarder on top. As you can see in my magazine I have done something similar to this  with my actors face.

DEVELOPMENT UP TO MY FINAL FILM MAGAZINE

I have changed my magazine quite a lot what I have done is I have decided that I will put it in black and white so that it looks a bit like the Skyfall kind of scene with the black and white background I also thought of a different name, I did this by thinking of what relates to a film, I did a mind map of all the different words, then I thought about how to make it stand out so, I used the colour yellow to make it more vibrant. I also changed the title instead of red to white and put a stroke on it. I put a small drop shadow on the title of the magazine.

 I then added the date and price of the magazine and added the text on top of the yellow board. I tried a lot of different fonts to get it to be bold and make it stand out on the yellow background. I also expanded the title so it was in the audiences face. I also added a red box and changed the front and took the stroke off the Best film of the year tagine, because I thought it would look better and now I have done it I think it contrasts well with the title.

This is my final magazine cover I think it looks really good, I put the text into a white bold font and in big writing so that you can see the text from a far distance. I also added headline at the top . I have put exclusive in red so it stands out like on the Skyfall magazine, it's like a must see thing in the magazine.

Differnt colour backgrounds for my magazine

I have put a new background onto my magazine cover because I didn't like the red background that I did because it doesn't look right and when I looked at magazines more closely I realized that none of the magazines haven't got a fill colour. I got the house image from the internet but I have blurred it a little.

I have done exactly the same thing apart from I put the image in black and white so because I wanted to see what it would look like and what effect it did to the magazine cover. What I would do is change the colour of the text so that It can stand out and make the text bolder.

Update on magazine

What I have done so far is I have added the tag line and put a white stroke on it so that it stood out from the dark red background. I have also added a red title line saying shattered on it to make it stand out from the page I have also put a black stroke on this to make it attract the audience. I added text on the side of the image, I did this because in my research lots of magazines have quite a lot of text on the front cover.

I have decided though that the text is to small so, next time I'm going to make the text bigger so that the audience can see it clearly instead of squinting at it.

magazine 5- ANALYSE

I really like how this magazine has been done with the film laid out like an office or a building with all gadget stuff. I also like how they have used the mind blowing issue, because the film is about the mind and about his dreams. With this movie magazine it's really busy and has lots of things on it, it has the title of the film in big bold letters so it the first thing you see, it's like the title is in bedded  with the background. It also gives you extra things to have a look at like the 27 most mind blowing movies, they are constantly using things to do with the mind all over the front cover of this magazine and that is the key to inception.

I also like how they have used blue, red and silver for there colour scheme which I think is really good and quite effective because it's unique and not many magazines don't use these colours and try to avoid them.
