Magazine front cover.

PLANNING.
*Looked at existing magazine front covers - film magazines ie; Empire, Littel White Lies etc.
*Annotated the conventions ie; the strapline, title, information on other features etc.
*Identified conventions of Horror film magazine covers ie; colours - black, white and red.

We then started to desgin our own, following the forms and conventions of our chosen template Empire, yet also developing and challenging. We had two ideas that we designed and then gain feedback for by our other class members.

PICTURES OF BOTH

From our feedback, we found that one was preffered however would be difficult to create with our given software so we further developed our second idea and chose that one to persue.
