Magazine cover

This is the magazine cover I have made. I wanted to keep it simple, like the poster was simple, so I used black and white because I thought it gave it a simple artistic feel. I have put an image from my film in the centre because that is the main focus of the magazine with the film title below it also quite big. I used a camera lens for the 'O' in the title because I thought it looked good and suited the type of magazine it is which is a film magazine. Without the camera lens as the 'O' I thought it looked to much like a normal celebrity type magazine such as 'Heat'. I also put film related articles at the right hand side of the cover to make it seem more like a genuine film magazine. I originally wanted to have the cover all in black and white with my main image being in colour to make it stand out but I personally thought it didn't look good because it looked out of place so I changed it all to black and white. I didn't want bright colours all over the magazine because my film I am making is a drama which is quite a realistic film that usually are quite serious so I have tried to make the magazine look like one that would advertise a magazine whereas an action film would have a lot of bright colours and effects.
