Development ideas for the magazine cover...




Last lesson, my group decided to make a 'mock' magazine cover to try and convey our thoughts. It is difficult to explain exactly what we were aiming for, so by creating a hand made version of the cover we were able to show what we hope to achieve. We left blank the places that the images of the main character would go. My group also included captions that would feature on the front cover of the magazine. These included '5 Top valentines gifts' which convey the 'valentines' theme that we want. It also relates to the target audience because it is quite 'chatty' and 'colloquial' which will fit the age range we hope to attract. We decided that we wanted the magazine to be a pull out magazine consisting of a 'good' cover and an 'evil' cover. The 'good' cover links to the main character of the film, Isa and how she was at the beginning of the film which is 'normal' and 'good'. However the second cover will be 'twisted' and 'dark' in order to convey how Isa is as the film progresses. This will symbolize Isa's significant change and how she has gone from good to bad. We also decided on having half a heart on each front cover and when you pull out the second cover the hearts will connect. We want the 'good' cover to look like a 'normal' teen magazine like 'Company' and 'Cosmopolitan' so that it will reach our target audience as well as convey the 'good' side. We wanted to base the 'evil' cover on magazines such as 'Empire and 'V'.
