Research & Planning: Magazine Front Cover Drafts

Here are my drafts for my film magazine front cover that I will be producing soon. I have made two different ones keeping some things similar but changing other things. I will compare these and see which one I think will work best for my magazine. I may even take ideas from each of them and put them together.

Codes and Conventions:
- Image to attract audience

- Barcode, date and issue number to make it look like a professional magazine

- Website to make it seem more official

- Masthead so people know what the magazine is

- Slug line to attract the audience and again, make the magazine recognisable

- Other features added to show what else will be in the magazine

- 3 colour theme to make it look professional

- If the magazine is a special edition this needs to be shown on the magazine for the audience to see
