Magazine Cover

This is the music magazine that i decided to create which involved images from our Deranged teaser trailer, at first we needed to do research on previous music magazines this is because we need to see what makes them successful and what a music magazine needs to have on the front cover. I decided to have a picture of peter on the front cover of my music magazine because he is the main character in the movie, i decided though to make him look more evil as in horror movie the evil character is normally focused in dark colours that normally hide their facial featues. This also goes back to other horror movies where the monsters hide in the dark, and it wasn't until prothetics developed that monsters where seen more in movies as before hand they didn't look as real. I first put the main character in photoshop and added dark strokes to him, so that he doesn't have so much detail towards the face epscially the trailer is set towards the end in the forst at dark. I think this works well because we can't make out many features like the eye colour and facial features and gives more a mystery as to whether the character is human or not. I also used the movie mag as the title to my magazine in the white large, bold font but then changed the style by adding lines through it to make it look old and scratched like some signs you get in horror movies. The background image is the woods which is the main location of the movie, plus i also think this works will as it shows the location of the horror movie as it shows the isolation of the woods. In the top right corner it features on of the characters from the trailer where he is being dragged along the floor, though we aren't sure if its the evil character doing this or something else and so leaves this mystery that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats as they want to know if the characters makes it out alive. I decided to make this character lighter as in horror movies the evil characters are normally featured dark compared to the good characters wearing white and being feature in more lighter colours and so i think this is a good contrast.
