Draft Magazine Front Cover ideas

This was my first initial idea which i used as a basis for the rest of my designs as i liked the look of the main image and so i tried to incorporate this design in some of my other draft ideas whilst changing certain elements to try and add more and more to my magazine until i felt that i had created the look that i wanted for my film magazine front cover.

This is another idea which i drafted to see how the magazine appears with a CU image of my main characters face, as after researching into the magazine conventions i discovered that this is a common element with the character looking directly out towards the audience, therefore i used my knowledge to incorporate this into my draft idea.

This idea was more of a focus on incorporating the characters weapons and props showing his guns and bullet proof vest so that i could give my audience a brief indication as to what the film is about.

I felt this looked effective and creatvie and liked the appearance as i felt it suggested a lot about my film whilst also looking attractive and interesting which is vital to attract the audiences attention and make the magazine stand out.

This task enabled me to build on ideas which i have had and work out which of the covers is the most appealing and attractive, whilst it also enabled me to interpret ideas from certain drafts that worked well, into my other draft ideas to create a design which i felt
