This is the second design that I came up with, I think that it looks better than my first one in some ways. The picture of myself standing on the pier takes up the whole background of the magazine, which resembles the real Empire magazine more than before. The idea of using a scene from the film also ties in nicely with some of the other things our group has produced, which shows continuity. The bar code and the 'Empire' title were taken from 'Google Images' to give the additional effect of the real magazine. I downloaded some different fonts that I thought matched better, the title is now more readable and the bold font underneath looks like the kind of font used by the real magazine.
Jade, I really like this cover, you're right, the base image is a usual convention of Empire and the title is more legible.
ReplyDeleteTarget: I think this image could be made more clear with a little editing, see me next lesson- it should only take a moment.
