Our New Magazine Cover

This is our new magazine, we have changed particular aspects of our cover, which we think will look better and fit our genre as a rom-com suitably. As our house style colours is blue and pink which suggests romance and our genre we wanted to carry that throughout our magazine cover and posters. For our original cover we had difficulties doing this as we were using the boy holding a red heart chocolate box although it fitted the image of being romantic when we used our house style colours it clashed with this. This is why we deicded to redesign the picture so it would still suit our genre and not clash with our colour scheme. The reason why we thought this needed to be changed was that when we were reseearching other covers we found that they all had a colour scheme that related to the top film they are publishing. This picture represents romance, and also goes well with the use of colours on our front page. We decided to use a variety of pinks and blues so it would make it look more unique and less of the same. We used the colours on particular words that we wanted to be bold and stand out such as the actors names 'Alex Costello' and 'Mercedes Vano'. We did this so that these are the main features that will hook in the audience. We did use typical conventions of a film magazine such as picture which illustrates the main film that it is representing, the film title in a big font to attract the audience, the exclusive bar we found was used in other magazine covers as it makes that story seem more important and will give the cover more diversity. We found that film magazines don't use too many headlines, and do leave some white space so this is a convention we decided to keep as well.
