New Magazine Cover - Final

We wanted to change our magazine cover as we felt it was too busy. We took out two headlines to make it less cramped and were not as important. As Grace is our main focus and 'La Femme' is the concentrated film we had two stroylines about the film and the actress on the cover. The 'La Femme Premier Lowdon' is now at the bottom and a lot bigger to grab readers attention. We also added an exclamation mark at the end to make it look more interesting and make readers want to read the article more. We saw this on a film magazine and thought this worked well to make the cover more eye catching. Also we changed some of the text into capital letters, on the 'DVD's you must own', we changed the 'you' into capitals to make it more personal to the reader and grabs their attention more making them want to read the magazine. We also made 'plays' in the snakeman heading not in capitals as we wanted 'Brad Willis' and 'Snakeman' to stand out more as these are the more important words. Also we put 'Grace Tree as' in italics as this is emphasising her real name and then her name clearly as the character. I feel this works well as it is different text use. Also 'Lowdown' and 'Revealed' I put in bold, this is to emphasise more the important words indicating that it is all inside. The 'win' in the circle we also changed to another font as I felt that the other font looked a bit cheap and basic. I feel this works a lot better. We also changed the 'La Femme' into red as it is a signature colour for the film, we then changed the 'Lowdown' to white as it was then too red. I feel this doesn't look as good however we need to keep the continuity of our signiture colour of our film title.

Beyond, the magazine name we made a lot bigger as we want passers by to notice our title and want to read our magazine, this makes it stand out more and makes it instantly recognisable.

Overall our magazine has had a lot of changes as there is a lot of information on this rather than our posters. We wanted to fit the conventions as much as possible to make it more realistic and looking like a real magazine cover. I feel now our magazine doesn't look as busy and now it is easier to read for passers by as there is not as much text. I am happy with our magazine and feel it could be easily read on a shelf now.
