How i made the film magazine front cover:

The process of making my film magazine front cover:

1. Choosing a photograph of the characters to be the main picture:

I chose the image i didn't use on the film poster to be my main image on the film cover. i thought this would be a good photo to use as it has two of the main characters in it and they are also wearing their costumes, so the audience will be able to tell the theme of the film.

To recap i used this photo:


2. What font to use:

I decided to use the same font and colour of font on the magazine front cover as the film poster, i thought this would be a good idea as this font could then be associated with this film.

3. What content to have on the front cover:

To keep with the conventions of the film magazine i decided to mention other films which will be out in the summer. I also followed the same convention on the 'Ultimate Summer Preview' as the Charlie and The Chocolate factory edition of the magazine.

I also took the 'Total Film' from one of the magazine front covers and edited it using photoshop to make it fit into the theme of the front cover.



I gave the image an orange background on here so it would be easy for you to see, but on my front cover i made it so it was transparent.
