Different Image Effects for Magazine

These were some of the different effects we tried on our model for our magazine drafts.

I made different versions of our magazine cover main image applying a different effect and then went out and asked some of our target audience to tell us which version they found best effective or the best looking for our magazine cover. as a result we ended up with a tally chard revealing that the image in the middle was most popular choice.

Audience Feedback - Poster and Magazine Drafts

After taking a look at our drafts for our film magazine and poster, we asked one of our classmates their thoughts and feelings on our products.

Choosing our Final Magazine

When we created the first drafts of the film poster and the independent film magazine we had a problem with bother of them have a too similar image.

                                       To solve this problem, we conducted another photo shoot with the main protagonist to get more photos so that we can have different pictures between the poster and the magazine. Here is the outcome of this decision:

Sketch: Film Magazine - Initial Idea #2

Sketch: Film Magazine - Initial Idea

Before the construction of our film magazine we decided to start out by sketching our ideas. This provided us with a visual starting point before moving on to use Photoshop.

This is my sketch for our independent film magazine. I was inspired by the horror films, 'Mama' and 'The Grudge' where the antagonist's hair would stretch out and try to engulf and harm victims with it.

I drew only half a face and chose not to centre the character's face to remain unconventional which match the unusual quirks of independent magazines.

Contrasting this, in my sketch I included typical conventions of a magazine. For example, I drew a barcode and wrote an issue number which I placed in the bottom, left corner. I also gave the magazine a price.
