Magazine influences

We researched many different film magazines to use as an influence for our magazine cover. We looked at the different formats,unique selling points,logos use of text an colour, font size/style, and relevance to genre etc. It was difficult to find one that embodied what we needed in terms of genre.
We looked at Total film which is one of the largest film magazines in the world which features a range of different types of film. We looked at the features of the magazine and how we would incorporate things like the title,barcode and price.


Salt being on of our main influences encouraged us to use the total film logo as a base structure for our magazine cover. We found it very difficult to find a logo which had a good quality pixel so we decided to come up with our own. we used magazines like Empire and Little White lies as inspiration. We used concepts like using the title and the picture to create a 3D effect. We tried to market the film using genre and we did it in a way that makes the audience want to know more by not giving away to much of the themes and ideas of the film.
