Magazine Cover Ideas

Magazine Cover Idea 1

These were some rough drawings produced about the magazine cover, we thought about using the mask in our magazine cover as a main image however due to the poster ideas we decided not to use the mask twice as the main image and do something different instead. Through these ideas we came up with the technique of using biblical text as a texturised background which would link to the main trailer product also due to the religious sub-narrative and the shot of the bible in Act 3 of the trailer.

This was another idea using the mask, we wanted to link the connection with the mask and the main girl character from the film with the magazine cover as in the film the mask is supposed to represent a psychological idea rather than a real entity and therefore in this image we are showing that the mask is in fact part of the girl herself making the audience infer that the mask maybe a psychological projection of the girl and the mask character may just be an embodiment of her own fear and doubt

Magazine Cover Idea 3

We included the biblical element of our film heavily in this cover as we were thinking of using an image of a bible with the name of the film written inside of it. We wanted to also draft a landscape magazine also as this would be a unique easy of producing a magazine and therefore may also stand out from the rest. 

Magazine Cover Idea 4/5

(4) for this cover we used the main inferences that would be gained from the title of the film with the use of an urban/rural clash of settings as well as references to the Garden of Eden and also the main character with her back turned walking away from the reader to show her vulnerability and her lonesomeness surrounded by large overbearing buildings

(5) For this magazine cover alike No.3 we experimented with a landscape style with the use of the recognisable mask as the main image, however this was a poor idea as the layout is poor such as the position of the mag title, which would not be seen if the mag was stacked on the shelf side by side, it would also be likely that none of the mask would be shown also

Magazine Cover Idea 6

This idea is very similar to our final magazine cover product, the use of the film reel at the bottom and also the running of the main protagonist were both used in the final product. The magazine name we decided would be 'Reel Talk' as it relates to film and also film reviewing. We decided this was the best layout for our film magazine cover as it fitted with conventions of many similar film magazines such as Empire and therefore would be identified nearly immediately as being one. We also concluded that using the girl as the main image would be better than the mask as we were planning on using the mask in our poster already and we wanted to create a more rounded product with more recognisable characters rather than just one.
