The main inspiration for our magazine was 'Empire Magazine' which is the worlds leading movie magazine. It contains breaking film news, as well as reviewing films and interviewing countless celebrities. This is the ideal movie magazine and therefore perfect to get ideas for our own magazine cover.
Empire Magazine uses a different font for almost every piece of writing on the cover of their magazine, this is very effective in creating a professional and intriguing appearance, therefore we used this idea for our own magazine cover. In addition to this we noticed the large bold mast head was coloured red which allowed it to capture more attention. We also decided to colour our mast head in red for this reason. Where we differ from Empire Magazine's mast head is the white outlining the bold reed mast head. We agreed that this enhanced the mast head and made it appear more fitting with the horror genre of the film it is featuring.
We found a barcode on Google images, and incorporated it into our own cover. The positioning of the barcode is correspondent to the one on Empire Magazine.
Above is a screen shot of the numerous different layers the magazine cover had. It shows the progression from the previous image.
Here, you can see all the different fonts for each different side story. We felt this drew a lot of attention, and really made the magazine cover stand out from other ones.
