Final Magazine

Above is my final magazine front cover advertising my teaser trailer. After I had completed my draft, I found several errors which I fixed in the above final. I also added extra details in making it more genuine.The trailer was the main, exclusive piece in this edition of the magazine. I decided to go with 'Empire' in the end because I felt, as it is a mainstream film company, I felt it would be better suited to my teaser trailer and the audience I was trying to target. I was going for a mass audience which suited 'Empire' magazine. If I was targeting a niche audience I would go for a smaller, less known film company such as 'Anna-Purna'. As I used 'Empire', I looked closely at previous designs on previous editions of the magazine. I followed several of Empires classic characteristics such as; the empire website address under the masthead, the date and price of the magazine above the 'M' etc. Another thing I noticed whilst looking at previous editions of Empire magazine was the use of colour. So when I was creating my own, I felt it was crucial to include some which is why I featured colours such as red and blue. The shocking colours stood out and would work well when the magazine was sitting in a shop at attracting the attention of readers. Another thing I included also was the plus sign before some text which is regularly on Empire magazines. If I was to re-do my magazine, I would think about what other puffs and pugs I could have included to make my magazine more sellable and interesting to my target audience.
