Magazine Assignment Evaluation
Before I began to create my magazine I put plenty of research into it; this varied from looking at other magazines and taking inspiration from them, also I began looking at the layout and designs for magazines in that genre so I could get a general scheme for my own magazine. Some of the magazines I exampled included: Total film magazine, Empire magazine and more. These magazines are some of the best in that genre; so taking inspiration from them is a good choice as they are highly rated by the public.
When I began the production of my magazine I created a pitch which is also present on the blog; the pitch included: magazine names, typography, fonts, and more. I would also state that I would follow the codes and conventions of a typical magazine in that genre.
I started by making a front cover for my magazine, it includes a masthead, main image and sub headings, I will include a picture of the front cover so it is visible in the blog. There were some complications as I had some previous attempts at making the front covers, some of these had minor details on that didn't make it to my standard. Also I took some secondary sources from google for my final magazine, this could cause some problems as I could get a copyright strike from using other images.
Secondly, I created a double page spread for my magazine. this included a fictional article of a new horror film that was coming out. The article included some behind the scenes facts, cast interviews and a brief synopsis to the movie. I had images of myself included on the page and some other images that I took off Google; again I could be served a copyright strike for using other images.
