Film Magazine Front Cover Drafts.

Now as i have researched about the front covers of film magazines and analysed their content I have produced drafts using Photoshop so i can decide which elements out of these 2 drafts i would want my final cover to look like, and what i would like on it.

Magazine Front Cover - The Grudge Draft.

I like how the title of the film is presented in first draft. It gives a sense of awkwardness by how the font is tilted. I also like the puff in the bottom right hand corner, it really stands out from the page. This is an important as this is a main characteristic of a puff, it should be stood out from the page as it will be easily noticed by readers.  In my actual final front cover i feel that i will be using the same typography and colour for my masthead, and the puff in the bottom right hand corner.

 Magazine Front Cover - The Ring Draft. 

I like the colour of this draft, as it is going against the conventions of the Horror genre, but still keeps the horror feel to the front cover. The feature article photograph really catches my eyes and draws me into the cover. With my actual product of my magazine front cover I will inspire from this and utilise it within my photograph which i will take. The Puff is also recognisable as it is easily distinguishedby the target audience. I also like the glow on the title 'The Ring.' I do like that editing effect and I feel that it would look nice on my magazine front cover, as the outside glow lifts the text off the page and captures the readers attention.
