Magazine Stage 2 actual magazine!

I already knew what I was out to acheive when coming into this magazine creation, but it took a while just to find the right tools for the process.

This is the start of my magazine cover, I have added the image of Ben and enlarged it so it gives me the desired closeup. I managed to find a font called "Aldo the Apache" which gives me the big bold defined title that most film magazines have present which perfectly presents my short "35MM". I have also just found a great font for my covertitle called "Lycanthrope" it gives me the creepy font that goes with the horror theme. This took a while to find as any promising fonts i did find, didnt quite give the correct image.

I then started to add another coverline, to help make the magazine look more authentic and also to give the viewer more reason to look inside. I am also really pleased with how I structured the title, I believe it looks very stylish and more importantly very unique which is difficult with such a short title. Also on asking peoples opinions they agree that the title is a very good feature.

I then started experimenting with different ways to break up the image, I come across this combination which not only breaks up the image, eventhough its only slight, gives me a perfect platform to add some more text about the magazine.

I used the font from the cover lines to add the "Horror Special" this keeps consistancy in my magazine but also make the viewer aware that this is a special edition of a alround film magazine, because as I have mentioned from the start, my intentions have always been to create a general film magazine.

In this edition im nearly complete, I have added text about whats included in the magazine along the banner at the bottom, but also created what looks like a newsletter to fill the circle in the bottom left. This includes details about news, competitions and such online, giving an insight into the magazines other medias like the website and such, which is present in alot of other magazines.
