Magazine Layout

Magazine explanation


 

•Masthead; we have chosen to the masthead fairly big and at the top of the magazine, this is because when we were analysing magazines we noticed that it is a regular feature in the magazines. We are thinking about choosing a colour related to the film so dark colours like black, blue grey. Or the masthead to be red as it stands out and is noticeable and hard to miss.

Article circles
•We have chosen to do article circles with the headline in there because in magazines it is either written there or in a circle, we liked this idea so we have chosen to incorporate it into our work. It will be related to the main article so it will probably be something to do with social realism films.
In our analysis we noticed this is a feature used in film magazines so we have used the idea as we thought it was effective.

Main image/ tagline
With the main image we are going to have it fairly big in the centre of the page, this is so it is one of the first things the reader sees. The tagline will be just below are will be incising so the audience want to open the magazine and flick to the page about the film. We will have the tagline medium size as well because it is an important part of the front cover. Bottom page banner

•We have decided to put a banner going across the bottom of the cover, after analysing the film magazine we noticed this is a quite regular feature and that was good because the article circles were the bigger articles in the magazine where as this shows different variety in the magazine that isn't all related to social realism .
