Magazine Cover...


After a lot of research into the conventions which should be included in making an effective magazine cover i think we made a successful magazine cover. i believe that the cover consists of all the necessary conventions which together make the magazine cover look every effective. 


The title of our magazine cover is 'LCA'- which is the abbreviation for 'Lights, Camera, Action', we decided this title because we wanted our magazine to be focused on films and we believe that the title represented the film industry well. the title instantly signifies that the magazine is based around films. We did the title in big bold writing as the magazines we used as research had a big title so to meet this conventional element we used letters that would stand out.


The structure of our magazine cover was very similar 'Total Film' magazine which was one of the magazines we used to research into conventional elements of magazine covers. As you can see the main character on the magazine cover is looking directly at the audience so therefore we took a picture which was later edited of our main character looking directly at the audience which made the magazine cover really effective as initially we were going to use a screen shot of a scene from the trailer. We were very glad that we did further research into this as all of the  magazine covers we used for research had some sort of figures looking directly at the audience.

This is a screen shot of all the attempts we did for the magazine cover- as you can see we made and edited 20 copies of our picture before we were completely happy with our magazine cover. We developed our magazine cover greatly as we felt there was a lot of room for improvement, we had very different ideas of what we thought made an effective magazine cover and in some ways struggled more with this task then we did with the others mainly because are ideas differentiated.
