The feedback I received from my first draft of my magazine front cover:
I was basing my magazine on the existing movie magazine company Empire and therefore I tried to base it off of some of there existing covers.This one in particular uses a similar layout to the gone girl issue empire released.I looked specifically at this issue because I feel the film it is advertising is very similar to mine so I wanted to get a feel of how empire made a issue surrounding a film with the genre.I feel they have achieved this with the use of the main image and colour schemes.The actual problems to my magazine are the sticker is off centre and way to big for the cover itself,therefore this will need to be reduced or got rid of.The Empire logo has a strange image in one of the letter I will need to get another template for the title.Ava made need to be made smaller and also the film highlighting other films at the bottom will need to be extended so it almost runs off of the page.The barcode is blurry and also there are to many types of fonts used for a normal magazine front cover therefore these will need to be reduced to 3 at the most.I may also need to resize the date and issue number a touch to make my issue actuate to the ones the professionals use.I could maybe re-think the image as it's a bit grainy which is not commonly features on magazine front covers.Also more in depth headings can be used in order to make this look like a professional Empire magazine.
Feedback for my first draft for my movie poster:
Some of the blurriness here is down to the quality of the photo however this is my first draft of the poster.The images as you can see are not of the standard they should be for a poster therefore the images will be totally rethink as they don't give any hint to as to what the story maybe about.Therefore the images will be changed and I will need to gather my own images.The title Ava is way to small and is not positions correctly therefore,it would be more useful to movie it to were the title is normally placed on a magazine and keeping it in convention.I will keep it close to conventions because I feel it presents some order and structure to the posters and therefore allows you to be more creative in other areas like the main image.The names of the actors at the top and quite big so they will need to be reduced and the tagline underneath just doesn't make any sense along with the font is just to simple so the whole idea surrounding the tagline will need to be looked at.The credit block at the bottom is to large and also off centre so it will need to be resized into a block format and reduced.
