Magazine Design Ideas

Magazine Idea Number 1

This layout was not favoured as we negative reviews regarding the landscape layout of the page. Also the structure of the page appears frantic and messy, which makes it hard and confusing to understand. We wanted the page to be more clear and structured, which we took into account in our final design. Also wanted to incorporate the use of subsidiary images in order to display more tasters into the film.

Magazine Idea Number 2

This layout was closer to our final design and many of the conventions of this kayout went into our final and completed design. We preferred the portrait page structure as it makes the page appear less cluttered and follows a more orthadox design. We liked the idea of a main image across the top half of the page, however in our final design we also used subsidiary images. We also preferred the idea of having the columns under the picture and headline, alongside the breakout box. Another difference from our final design is at this stage we did not incorporate a breakout paragraph in the columns.

Magazine Idea Number 3

The comments we recieved on this design helped us to decide how to display our page and what to include. We recieved negative reviews on the landscape layout so we distanced ourselves from this in our final design. We were told that the page appears to muddled and confusing. We were also told that the columns appear to long and rather boring for our younger target audience. All of this was taken into account when designing our final magazine layout.

Poster Design

This was one idea we had for our film poster.  We decided to use a key image from the film as our leading image as it represents the idea of luck in the film.  Furthermore we adopted the white background and red writing to represent the theme of romance, a technique used in such film posters as Bridget Jones.  We hope that from the style of our poster and the images used the audience should be able to distinguish the theme of the film.  Moreover we decided the have 'Lucky in Love' highlighted in red as it represents that although the boy is unlucky, he becomes lucky in love by the end of the film.  We also included the name of the main actors, similar to that of many other film posters so that the audience know who the actors are.  A billing block and BBFC certificate were also included to finalise the poster and make it look like an official film poster
