Our final magazine cover

We called our magazine 'Reel', we were really happy about this title as it
is a play on words, 'Reel' - to do with a film reel in the movies but also links with the
word 'Real' - like real life actors, films and events which are all included in a film magazine.
We made only some minor changes to the last blog, for example a bar code is
now added, this makes it look more realistic and conventional of a magazine cover.
We are overall really happy with it. The whole colour scheme of blue, green and white
gives it a sophisticated but also 'fun' feel to the magazine and also attract both male and
female readers.
The pretty close-up is conventional with any magazine but we used this one as it looked better
with the colours and was also inspiration from variety of magazines that we looked at.

We used a conventional layout and added in extras such as audience pleasures to make
it overall more appealing 'free movie poster inside', but also look like a real magazine. The consistent font gives it an in-house style and the tag-line underneath the title is also conventional 'The groovy movie film magazine' makes it flow and is entertaining. However, we feel simplicity is the way to go, we felt this was more conventional of film magazines compared to other magazines. The cover is not packed full of information whereas a glamour magazine would be. Maybe this is because there is a lot of competition between music and glamour magazines whereas people by film magazines to read about the latest block busters.

One last thing we thought was a good idea to do was have the movie 'Tracing steps' in a different and larger font to make it stand out, after all its the main film in the magazine issue. We choose this font because it is similar to the one in our trailer therefore gives the trailer, magazine and soon-to-be poster a in house style and an overall link.
