Film Magazine

This is our final design for our film magazine which features the two main characters from the film. The final design followed the mock up in all aspects except for the masthead. I really liked the idea of having the clapper-board be part of the masthead, but when we tried out the idea of having the word “CUT” on the clapper-board  it didn't look as effective on the canvas as it did on paper. The masthead ended up taking too much attention away from the sell-lines. Instead we decided to have the word “CUT” be placed normally after the word “FINAL”, and that the top of the “T” of “CUT” would be like the top of a clapper-board  This way, the masthead is easier to read and maintained its clapper-board style.

To add a bit more authenticity, I added a bar code at the bottom right corner because you expect to see one on all magazine covers; and I also added a shape with a gradient next to the puff to make it look like it’s pealing off which makes it look more 3D. Fewer sell-lines were added because on film magazines, you tend to see fewer sell-lines than on gossip or woman’s magazines.
