Magazine Front Cover & Poster

 In class, we started to look at existing people's work who have created both a magazine front cover and a poster. The magazine front cover was level 3 and the poster was level 4. We analysed both the poster and the magazine front cover and found the strengths and weaknesses. This magazine front cover was effective as the image stood out. The title of the magazine was in the right place although it could have been bigger. The side quotes were also very small and could of been made bigger. The car code was on the wrong side too. The main storyline was good though as it was large enough to see and grab the viewers attention but also fitted in with the theme and worked alongside the image. This magazine from cover was overall successful as they have followed the codes and conventions of a magazine from cover and have made theirs stand out and look appealing to the right target audience.
This was the poster that we analysed in class, and this got a level 4 as it was very good. The overall image which has been used is effective and works well with the theme of the poster and the title as it makes the audience aware that this is a horror film poster. The only problem with this poster is that although they have included the line 'coming soon', they have also included the credits which wouldn't be included on a teaser poster which would feature 'coming soon'. Therefore they have become slightly confused with what the right conventions are for a magazine front cover. The editing skills used for this poster are very good and one aspect of the poster that I particularly like is the words coming soon and how the effect used makes the word blend into the image.
