Before drawing up a plan for our magazine cover research had to be done. Mainly we focused on analysing Empire Magazine covers. This is because Empire Magazine is the worlds leading movie magazine, and therefore the ideal template, and inspiration for our own magazine cover. Most of the ideas we had regarding the design of our magazine cover have stemmed from Empire Magazine. This includes; using different fonts for each block of writing, large bold red mast head, the positioning of the main image.
Below is the original plan we drew up for the magazine cover we made for one of our two auxillary tasks. In this plan we included details such as the name of the magazine, and what extra stories we would advertise on the front of our cover. The plan was successful in giving us an adequate and effective guideline when creating our magazine cover.
To get an idea of the conventions of a poster and how professional posters appear we searched for the posters for films of a similar storyline and genre to our film. The one which particularly sparked our interest was the poster for 'Insidious'. Throughout our research process this film has been used as a comparison and point of research a great deal due to the similarities in our storylines and conventions. Using this poster as a rough template and a basis for ideas we were able to draw up a plan for our own poster. The poster for insidious is shown below.
The image shown below is the plan we drew up for our poster advertising our film 'Somnium'. The plan considers different aspects of the poster in detail such as color choices, and tag lines. It is very easy to follow and serves as an efficient guideline.
