Working on our magazine cover

Here are some of the ideas that we all came up with as a group for our magazine cover.

• We have decided that we will use the Total Film, rather than Empire
• Glow-up masthead (relates to the image, where the final girl will be holding a torch)
• Website & issue number on top of the 'M' of 'FILM'
• Main image. of final girl in foreground, and Slender Man hiding in the back
• barcode on bottom right corner
• We might add a spine
• Button ('FREE......')

Here is our flat-plan which I drew, so that we had an understanding of what our magazine will look like.

We then added the conventions of 'Total Film' magazine such as the the barcode, button, puffs, plus signs, bleed outs, freebie section, pull quotes and title of film. As you can see, we have included two freebie (top of magazine and middle left of magazine) sections, as we still need to consider which one we want to use.
