Magazine Design 1

1. The secondary features will have a background of a still from a movie with the top. This links to the convention of the polaroids that I have seen in some other magazines.
2. The feature headline will be underneath the photograph providing the audience with a link between the text and the photograph meaning that they can relate the name of the film to an actor and the actor to the film straight away.
3. The banner will go here and will be in a less bold font than the headline, which would attract the audience's eye after seeing the headline.
4. The barcode will be in the same colour scheme as the rest of the magazine cover, so it again ties in with the conventions, it also makes the page look cleaner and the branding to be obvious to the audience if the colour scheme is consistant.
5. The issue number and price will go at number 5, I will use the empty space between the letter 'L' and letter 'F' to give this information, it again makes the page look more neat, and would attract the audience's eye as it provides a selling point of the magazine, and if the price is low, they would immediately relate the price to the magazine.
6. Again I am using the theory of the male gaze on my photo where I am using the woman actress (the same that is seen in the poster) in a very similar position to what she is in the poster. This provides a link between the poster and the magazine cover, which would therefore increase brand awareness.
