Initial ideas of layout for magazine

These images gave us the chance to experiment with different potential layouts and which are more appealing to our audience. Each draft conveys conventions but each has its own USP because they are each different. Although we were happy with the 3 layouts, we decided we weren’t going to use any of them as they did not fit with the pictures we decided to use for the poster.

Layouts:














These are our three layout designs which we showed to our target audience. They preferred layout number 3. When we asked them why, they said it was because the masthead stood out at the top of the magazine. They also liked the idea of having the two images and headings at the bottom half of the magazine. They found the headline effective in the middle of the page because they thought it would catch the eye of the audience.

Fonts: We showed our target audience a number of fonts when researching for our initial ideas. Out of these four fonts, font number one was favoured by the target audience. When asking them why they chose this font to be thier favourite, they said it was due to the font fitting in with our genre of film (action/thriller). They also had to vote for their preferred colour and had to choose from black, blue, red or grey. They chose red because they believe that red symbolises danger. In an action/thriller film, danger is well-known theme throughout this genre. They also believed it would stand out for the audience when shown on a poster or magazine.

The tagliens will appear down the sides as well as pugs being included, also skuylines and banners and convedntionas of any magzine, being the barcode and price.
