The document summarizes the steps taken to design a magazine cover for a film. Key elements include:
1) Importing a photo and converting it to grayscale.
2) Creating a masthead combining two fonts and capitalizing the 'F' in 'Film'.
3) Adding headings, subheadings and banners in different colors and fonts to make text stand out against the background.
4) Placing publication details above the masthead and adjusting colors/layout of elements to improve readability.
Further additions are planned like another banner heading and barcode. Font and color adjustments may also be made.
2. Here I am taking the original
photo and putting it onto a
magazine sized page, A4. I
decided to change the colour
of the image to grey scale.
Here I am making the
masthead for my magazine.
The masthead consists of 2
different fonts century and
vivaldi. I later capitalise the 'f'
in film
My masthead is loosely
based on the total film
masthead.
3. For the heading I am using a red
coloured font, so that vengeance will
stand out from the rest of the text. The
font for the heading will be different.
The subheading,
underneath the heading is
coloured grey, as neither
black or white stood out. I
have also outlined the text
in black, but I think that I
will change it to white so
that the text stands out
more.
4. This is the font that I am using
for the heading, it will be used
in both the trailer and the
poster.
Here I have added in a
column of subheadings and
alternated the colours, the top
pieces of text are coloured in
red, for now, so that they
stand out from the
background, I will probably
colour them black and do
something to make them
stand out.
5. I have decided to do two
banners rather than just
one, here they are
positioned at the top and
bottom of the page.
I have decided to colour the
text on the banners white
with red plus symbol. I am
going to place a black box
behind the banner text so
that they are visible. I may
also do this for the column
of subheadings.
6. I added in the magazine
product details, date, price and
issue number, above the
masthead. It is small but
readable and doesn't disrupt
the cover or the masthead.
I have again based this on where total
film have placed their magazine details.
7. Here I have added the black
background to the banners, this
is much better as the text is
readable. I just need to think of
another heading for the top
banner.
I put red coloured boxes
behind the column of
text and now it is more
readable. I will however
change the colour of the
boxes to a less vibrant
colour.
I have also changed the colour of the
heading to a darker red.
8. Here I have changed the colour of
the boxes behind the column of
text. I changed it to a darker grey
so that it stands out less from the
background but so that the text
also stands out.
Here I have changed the
darkness of the image. I
darkened the image so that it
stands out from the
background.
9. Still too add:
I need to add the other heading on the
top banner, which will be 'Spock with
new ears' and a barcode which will be
placed bottom right.
I might change the font of the
subheading, 'winter just got scarier' and
add more red accents of font.
