This is our final copy for our magazine front cover. We were happy with most things on our front cover, therefore we didn't change much. A few things we changed were the free La Femme poster, we changed this because we didn't think people would want a few Love tunnel poster on there wall. We also did this to advertise another groups coursework. We also changed the font of La Femme to the actual font that the other group used, also the colour. We outlined the picture of Grace from the free La Femme poster to yellow, this showed that the piocture was linked with the free advertisement and not with the title Stalked. We changed the colour of the writing on Unknown to green, this made it stand out and create an eerie feeling. We could improve on small slight adjustments including the title La Femme at the bottom to be moved up further so its not sitting on the line at the bottom of the page. This was our rough draft for our magazine front cover. To get some ideas we looked at different film magazines such as "Empire and Total film." We looked at there conventions and what film magazines include. We made up our own film titles such as "Stalked, Unknown, Bubbles, and the top 2011 films." To stick with normal film magazine conventions we decided to put film reviews and interviews on to convey these.


This was our final front cover. We have changed it slightly from our first draft and moved things around
to fit everything we wanted in. On our first draft we have the film title Bubbles in a bubble with bubbles around it, we decided I didn't like the bubbles as it didn't fit our conventions of a film magazine that we wanted, therefore we erased the small bubble s but kept the writing in a big bubble still. We had a few problems with the writing and the colours. We wanted the title "Stalked" on the right and the slogan in orange above and the rest of the writing around, whereas our model is wearing bracelets the problem was having to change the colour so we could see it around the black backgrounds and our models bracelets. We also didn't want the picture in the bottom right as it made the whole magazine looked cramped as most thin gs were happening in the right. Therefore we moved the picture to the left and the main title and slogan above the picture on the left. We also changed the slogan colour to a dark blue so we could see it clearly through the black background. We added the Free love tunnel poster picture but we feel that this isn't a picture you would like on your wall so we have planned to change this to another image. We added the bar code to fit in with conventions of a film magazine. We have put it in the top right hand corner next to the price and the date. We used the title font "Dirty Finger" as our magazine title "Empire" and "Stalked" to show that Stalked is the main article on the magazine front cover.

This is very descriptive Emily.
