Drafts For My Magazine Covers!

Once my poster was completed I then went onto developed and drafting up my magazine cover, to do so I looked back at the research I had done and also looked back at the layout I had designed early on in my project. To make my magazine cover I used Photoshop CS5, the same software I used for my poster and I choose this because I felt that my poster came out great and professional so I thought I could try to do the same for my magazine cover.

These were my first three magazine covers I designed and to make mine a bit different compared to other magazines I decided to use the idea of having the magazine to have three different front pages and articles that can be collected which would be the main one and then one each for both the main characters.

 I feel that the layout looked like an actual magazine cover and also that the background made the characters stand out from the rest of the magazine. I decided to use blue and white as my colour for my fonts and grey for my background. I also decided to include images of the first couple of posters that I had done as when I had designed my magazine cover I hadn't finished my final poster just yet.


The title for my magazine I had come up with myself 'Films 411' I chose this title because I felt that it went with the way I wanted my magazine to be seen as and also be noticeable in the stands of a shop if it were an actual magazine. I decided to make the magazine article for all three magazines to be 'Secrets Of The Heart Revealed' as I felt that it would connect with my article and also when it came to the separate magazines I changed the subheading from 'Stars Reveals' to 'She/He' Reveals. I feel that my magazine covers were laid perfectly and also that it went with the idea of what I had for my cover to be presented especially in the posses of the actors.

Overall using Photoshop CS5 has worked out well for my magazine cover and that if I were able to another magazine cover I would use the same software. I feel that my magazine cover would stand out in a shop and also draw in my target audience and even other people. This was going to be the final layout for my final magazine covers.
