I took a Mid shot image of the stars as I wanted to make the focus be in both of them as my audience didn’t really like the dog alone.

I then added my masthead ‘Film reel’ I wanted to embed the ‘Film’ Text within the text ‘REEL’ to make it look professional like the total film magazine masthead. I think my mast head is simple but it makes the magazine look professional.

Screenshot 3: Promotional banner.I added a promotional banner at the top

left hand side of the magazine to advertise that they could win a 7 day Disney cruise. This would make the parents want to buy the magazine for their children as there is a chance for them to win something worth winning.

I wanted to add some well known films to the magazine cover to make the cover look professional. I added Monster inc and Shrek 5. Shrek 5 isn’t made yet so I used a website called Font meme, which generates text, you insert the text you want and its generates the text for you. All the website does is let you have the font of popular films etc.

Screenshot 6: Plug.

I then added a plug to make the magazine promote the free movie posters. Plug’s are designed to make the audience buy the magazine as some people collect movie posters. I also created the ‘Toy story’ logo. I wanted to make the toy story logo as most kids magazines have something written about toy story. I wanted to make a new toy story logo as I didn’t want to copy an existing one. SO I made a toy story 4 logo as toy 4 does not exist yet. I also added my film masthead, tagline and barcode.

My magazine cover:

The overall look of my magazine cover is very colourful as kids magazines don’t tend to have a set colour scheme. So looking at other kids magazine covers I wanted to make mine look like theirs. I think that the Final magazine cover looks as if it belongs to the family film genre as the colourful colour scheme links with the kids magazine perfectly.
