Evidence of drafting for layout of film magazine front cover

This is the original image taken from my camera. I will use this photograph for my front cover of my magazine.  

  

I used Photoshop to edit this picture. I started by unsharpening the mask to give the picture more details. I then adjusted the levels, and changed the brightness and contrast to make the photograph much stronger. Then I used a ‘quick selection’ tool to select the two characters.

Then I erased the whole background leaving the two characters so I can add a different background.

This is the draft of the front cover magazine, but the final one will look different to this. I feel I can develop this further for the final magazine.

Choice of Colour:

The colours I have decided to use for the poster are Blue, Yellow, Black and White. As I am attracting a young audience who enjoy their latest gadgets, I feel that these colours connect to my audience. These colours give a feel of originality which would appeal more to a male audience.

Font:

I used the website Dafont to find myself a font to use for my Masthead. For the rest of the writing I will choose to use the Calibri font as I feel it is clear to read.

I decided to choose this one as it is simple and easy to read and due to the large font, I feel it will stand out well.

This is a draft of what the final front cover magazine will look like.
