Magazine Annotations

Magazine 7: With this magazine I have used another name, calling the magazine ‘Epic’ which I felt would attract to a young audience. Straight away, the audience sees the writing revealing ‘Our Biggest Preview Ever!’ which attracts to the reader as they will believe that it is also the best preview ever and they will want to read the magazine. I have drawn next to this piece of writing three squares where an image from the movie-trailer or photo-shoot for Friend.Finder.com would go, to convince the audience to read this certain magazine. The interesting element to this design is that the actors are not the main focus which is not a common convention of a movie magazine, however, I did find during my research magazines which do not focus entirely on the actors from the movie being advertised on the magazine, so I incorporated the story-line of Friend.Finder.com, in terms of them meeting over a website and creating a cyber-romance, and drew two computer screens with one descriptive word in each that are two opposite stereotypes. Although, the actors from this movie are not the main focus of this design, I have made the overall look of the magazine in quite a cartoon style and therefore drew the characters above the drawings of the computer screens like they were cartoon characters.

Magazine 8:

The last design I created was a movie magazine with descriptive text relating more to the actual film of Friend.Finder.com. For example, ‘They Both Found Love In A Friend’ which relates to the cyber-romance they found though Friend.Finder.com. Using a young actress like Emma Roberts as an example for who would play the role of the main girl character in Friend.Finder.com, was to relate to the age we would want our actors to be if someone famous was to play this role. The appealing masthead is also made eye-catching from the design of the attractive style of font with the gothic-style heart behind the writing. At the top of the magazine cover, informative text is noticed which I found through the magazine research, is commonly used.
