EVALUATION - Today - continued

The post below states what I did in one free, this post will show the progress we made in another free today.

I wanted to show what we had done in the first period - likely the new background was liked (a lot) and it was agreed that the other pictures showing the other films mentioned were unnecessary.

In this free we arranged the text some more so that it took up a lot of the cover but without making it feel over crowded. We added a yellow glow to the blue (free gift) text this makes it stand out from the other text and draws the audience to the free gift, this will attract them to the magazine. We then found a circle which is something featured on magazine front covers, it advertises something in the magazine which is separate from what has been mentioned. We wanted to find a coloured one and we were likely as the one we found was grey/blue and had yellow writing, this made it stand out from the rest of the text. We found this by search images on google, we then cut it in paint and photo shop so it had no back ground and was the right size.

I thought the top part of our magazine cover looked a bit bare and we noticed that some of the empire magazines have a tag line - The Worlds Biggest Movie Magazine - so we added this in at the top left hand corner, this makes our magazine look complete. At first we were worried that as we had changed our background the bar code (having a white background) would stand out too much and look out of place. However after looking at other Empire magazine front covers we found it to be a common feature.

I am extremely pleased with the work we have done today, we have basically finished! We even made print screen copies of our work so we could post it straight from photo shop and then a closer image so the size would not be a problem.
