Cover layout and Photoshop

This is the original flat plan design

This is the chosen image my group decided on as her expression looks like she's given up hope. Her clothing is black to match what she wears in the trailers Mise-en-scene. However to show she is the victim and is innocent we kept the back ground white.

My group worked on the glitching effect on the side of our protagonist face. This was done to show that the image of azln is corrupted from her evil twins doing. It was also done to link to moral panic as it shows elements of technology as well as linked to glitching in the trailer and title on the poster.

We exported ‘EMPIRE’s masthead as that was the magazines house style that we looked at the most.

I put in the barcode and layout where the movie title would be placed.

We bevelled and embossed the masthead and put a stroke which allowed us to put a green outline around the title which overall gave it a more cohesive look of the colour scheme, as the movie title uses green to connect to the trailer and technology after some feedback we applied it to the magazine cover. I also added the graphic of the plus sign in as it’s a house style. We also included sub headings at the top as a part of it’s house style.

As empires house style I included ‘best magazine in the world’ and the date and price at the top of the ‘M’. We included our pull quote and captions of a well known horror role laying actress and information on our own movie. We where going to include the circle graphic however it drew too much attention away from the manipulation of the photo. We also brought the image in front of the masthead as feedback suggested to make our image stand out.

Over I like the look of the magazine and like how everything interlinks together. It also shows link to the trailer and hasn’t changed the layout too much from the initial flat plan design.
