FILM MAGAZINE PROGRESSION

In my first draft, I decided to use a background taken from the trailer itself. But after researching into existing film magazines, I found that they rarely use this technique. And focus on a more studio-look background. So I changed it to look like exactly that.

As you can see, I changed my masthead to suit the magazine better. I feel the slanted text has connotations with motion, and the fire was a hit or miss with my teachers but, after explaining that it has relevance to the narrative (devil/hell/fire) I managed to convince him.

I changed the pug when I removed the forest background as I found that the chrome looking pug looked better when accompanied with the monotone background.

It also aloud the “and more blood” to be more recognisable and stand out more with the added bevel to make it look somewhat 3D.

I also removed the blood splatter from the pug, as I didn't want to overdo the whole horror theme. It took the attention away from the text itself, and the connotations.

I kept the main splash text the same as the poster and trailer text as it shows consistency and reflects on the brand itself.
