FILM

MAGAZINE

DRAFT

The masthead is shown in the template

of a film strip, with a bold black and

white outline. The text ‘TAKE’ is shown

in capital, block letters in a dark red to

stand out against the black. I put a slight

shadow to the left hand side of the text to

show depth to the text.

I used quite a plain picture

of the actress and edited it

to have a dark background

to blend in. I then edited

her facial features to be

bold and stand out; with

pale skin against the black

colour theme. The image

uses a black, red and white

colour which then matches

the theme of the magazine

cover.

I used a circle template in the

right hand corner of the

magazine and filled it with

the dark red, to stand outagainst the background, with white

text of ‘FREE twilight poster’. The

word ‘FREE’ is written in capitals to

draw attention from the reader, with

the two other words slightly smaller

to fit into the small space.

Down the right hand side of the

cover I put a few coverlines, to

intrigue the reader as to what’s

inside. I used white, bold yet

quite small text to stand out. The

first two coverlines are shown in

a bolder font with a red line to

separate them, the next four are

references to films with a small

diamond symbol separating

them.

I put the title of the film ‘Best Friends’

in white at the bottom of the image to

show its connection, with the white

contrasting against the blackness around

it. I then put a text box next to the title

with dark red writing ‘Exclusive

Interview’ in smaller, block capitals to

entice the audience further.
