Film Poster & Magazine Cover

Above is my first draft for our film. I was happy with how this came out but felt it needed more details to make it feel more like a typical horror film poster.



This is my finished poster for our film, Find Me. When designing this poster I used many conventional techniques which are associated with horror movie posters. I used a landscape poster as I felt that I could portray the mystery of our film better, the blank space makes the reader think more about what they actually can see. In some posters for recent films that have been released I didn't like how the credits and company logo's sometimes dominated the whole poster so I decided to make a strip down to bottom to distance all this infomation away from the main image and text on the poster. I think this works well as it shows more of the picture which itself doesn't give too much away so it keeps the viewer thinking about what the film is about.



This is the first draft of my magazine cover for our film. Instead of creating my own magazine I decided to build my cover around the well known film magazine TOTAL FILM.



This is my final edit for my magazine cover. After researching more thoroughly into film magazines that are already on the market I decided to make some changes to my first draft. First of all I didn't think the pink logo stood out enough, this is the main image on the cover and so I added an outer glow and black stroke to make it really leap out the page. I also decided to give some minor details of what the picture at the bottom of the cover represent. To do this I added some small bits of writing simply giving the name of the films that the screenshots are from. Finally I noticed that many magazines have included an extra circle or shape to give extra details of the issue and what is inside. Seeing these made me think that I should create my own 'bubble' so I used a tv test board as the background and some simple black font so te writing stood out. I am pleased with how m magazine cover has come out and I think it links in with our film well.
