Magazine and Subscribers Edition Cover Designs

Here is the magazine cover , this was create using potoshop. To create this magaizne cover we started with cutting around one of the best images from  the magazine shoot. There were many to choose from but we wanted one that fited into the horror theme and as you can see in this image she is looking over her shoulder as if someone is whatching her which is typical the the slasher horrors. Below you can see the images from the shoot we had to choose from.

 After looking at the all the images we chose the one on the bottom left. So using layers on Photoshop we cut it out and placed we on a black background the added a bold title in the hidden colors red,white and black. Next we added the behind the scene caravan location images and Cover lines  for the cover-lines I made them the same font as the billing bars on the posters as it was a really nice clear font to read and using them on both combines  them all together. then i added the "hidden title" in a bold red to stand out and included and white glow just like the hidden title in the trailer. Next I added the "50 page pull out" sticker then the bar code , for these I stuck to the same font themes and colors  To Finnish off I added the small details like the tag line and web address and the plus sign to make it just like empire the film magazine .




The other magazine copy is a subscribers edition , these normally include less information then normal covers which I have done to ours. I have used a close up image and darken the eye using the burn and highlight tool on Photoshop, I then layered the title empire and hidden tiles using the same ones as on the previous poster to keep the continuity. I then copy and pasted the cover lines just adjusting the positions of the text to suite the new cover. lastly i added the sticker, plus sign and bar-code to make it look like an authentic cover.

Once showing our classes they loved all the posters and were really impressed with our outcomes we also changed all the spellings that were incorrect and took the classes advise and left centered all the cover lines on the 2 covers , you can see the results below.
