Changes to magazine

 



Just like on my film poster, I used the website padlet and uploaded my film magazine to a wallwisher were people are able to post comments around my magazine cover on what they think of it, giving it any positive comments but also comments for improvements. When looking over my magazine thoroughly I decided that I needed to make changes to the following things:
Magazine name- make it stand out more
Change the films cuts or move them somewhere else on the page
Too many different colours or red, need to stick to one colour
'the intruder' text is the same on my poster- need to make it different
Issue number & price etc. are not bold enough to see.

In order to make these changes correctly, I found some 'scream' magazine covers and looked at them to see what I could use from them to put on my magazine to make it more realsitic.  


I first of all used this Scream magazine issue. I first noticed how bold the magazine title was so I then did this to my magazine cover. I gave the text a white glow to it stood out even more and made it looks much better. I have also tried to set it out similar to this magazine. I have put my image underneath the mast head and slightly to the right of the page.

I then looked at these 3 Scream magazine covers, I picked these 3 to look at because they used the movie cuts along the left hand side of the magazine, this was good news for me because i knew i could still use the films cuts on my magazine but would have to move them. When I moved the film cuts it did not look very good so I decided to re-make them completely and make them very similar to the cuts on these 3 magazines. I have also changed the 'intruder' text on my magazine to make that stand out more also, i feel as though this has worked very well.

I also liked the idea of having a 'PLUS!' part at the bottom of my magazine as I have noticed most magazines have these as they inform the buyer what is going to be inside the magazine. I have looked at the following magazines in this post to help me to decide what to write so that it looks more realistic.

After making all of the changes to my magazine shown below is my final product.
