Creating the magazine cover

Once all my research on the magazine covers, the next step was producing my own magazine cover with our film to be on the front. Me and my partner sat down and talked about the different ways we could create the cover and in which ways we could make it appealing to our customers. We first looked in to the magazine title which should be standing out the most. We noticed that majority of the film magazines are mixed genres that have different movies from all genre categories. We wanted to be unique and decided to focus on the genre of our film which is horror so that we could really get our film to stand out as the next scariest film releasing. To emphasize on this, we wanted the name of the magazine to relate and highlight the horror behind it. We looked on the internet to find the different horror titles and played and mixed around the words. In the end we decided to go with 'Gore-Mania'.

To make it look realistic, we had to add some writing. We came up with different ideas which we would put in the actual film if we had to create it and made up little quotes and subheadings to put on the cover. Though on many magazine covers, they only have one main image we wanted to highlight that it was horror based magazine and so wanted to added more images that would pin point this. We found some images on the internet and manipulated it on Photoshop to look more bolder and so that it would go with the rest of the magazine.
