This page will include all our print design stages which we have developed, in order for us to come up with the best out of print design, we looked at existing horror magazines and film posters , which have heavily inspired how our work is. this page will include our real media text stage, our 12 drawn drafts for the magazine and poster , our 8 digital drafts for the magazine and poster, test shots, and our more detailed digital drafts.
REAL MEDIA TEXT
film Poster
what we like about this film poster is the main image and all the aspects of it , the image is extremely detailed from the etched detail on the chainsaw to the details on the mask on the antagonists face. another aspect of the front cover is the use of the simple typograhy and the positioning of the film title which is near the bottom of the poster , this allows the audience to focus on the main image rather than being distracted by the font. dg

the effectiveness of a simple film poster really shows on this scream 4 poster , the use of the main image being a white mask is really effective on the black background as it makes it stick , also the the effect on the mask , making the bottom of the mask look like a knife, we are big fans of the simple bold typography and the use of the black , red and white colour scheme.
|
this is one of our favorite horror film posters , every part of it is well designed. We are big fans of the eroding effect on the font because it makes the font look really good, the background in the main image creates a spooky backdrop and makes the antagonist stick out, also the use of the iconic weapon which the antagonist is wielding makes the antagonist become more threatening .
|
this horror film is part of the few posters that use 2 people on the front , which are the antagonist and protagonist. we really like the use of the warming effect on the picture , this connotes a heated situation. the use of bright red typography used for the film title connotes blood. the black and red colour scheme is great because the black creates the use of darkness and the red represents blood.
|
this poster is so simplistic that it is left up to the veiwers imagination as there is no character wielding the weapon. another aspect of the poster is that they used a weapon as the main image , the weapon has blood on it , this is a great effect as it automatically shows the viewers it is a horror film
|
MAGAZINE
the layout of this this magazine is really good , as it is structured which makes easy reading .
|
the use of an animated image works really well because it is very colourful and bright , making it stand out on the store shelves.
|
i like this magazine because it only uses one main image on the front cover , this means that readers won't get distracted by any other images.
