MAGAZINE EVALUATION
COLOUR SCHEME:
PREDOMINANTLY BLACK
SECONDARY BLUE
FOR ATTENTION USES RED
FONT:
CORBEL (Spaced out lettering in places)
It was important to try and make this magazine cover look as proffessional as possible. I used other Film Magazine Covers from 'Empire' and 'Total Film' as inspiration. These provided a guideline on the layout and showed what kind of content is usually advertised on these Magazines. It needed to display varying content with bold lettering offering insight into the magazines actual content. The key selling words being 'NEW', 'ULTIMATE' and 'EXCLUSIVE'.
There was also a lot of technical detail which I needed to pay attention to. Such as the barcode, the labeling of the Magazine Issue (223) and the pricing, both in pounds (£)
and US Dollars ($).
The magazine features an statement offereing 'New Pics' on the films 'Dead Prince, 'Icarus XIII', Dragon of the North and 'Metropolis'.
Metropolis is a classic Sci-Fi film from 1926, Directed by Fritz Lang. Theis magazine suggests there is a remake going ahead - so I created a simple poster-like image which I was consiering assind go the Magazine Cover - but eventually rejected this idea because it would over-complicate the thing.

| Seen here is a poster of the original 'Metropolis Film. Just for fun I created a New poster which is seen below. For a change of style it moved away from the Art-Deco aesthetic and more towards a Dubai Related look - modern architecture. Also the lettering is simplified and spaced out - in a modern style. |
HERE IS THE 'METROPOLIS' Poster I started Creating. This content was Rejected from the final Magazine Cover...
