My Magazine Front Cover


I named my magazine The Lens because it is a movie magazine and cameras record through the lens. The title is bright, bold and chunky to attract the audiences attention, that is also why the saying 'Man Behind The Green' is written the same way.

To make my Magazine front cover, I started with the background. That was basically the same background as the poster and dvd sleeve of my movie to show readers that it is the same movie. Then I got a photo of Manish Mistry, who plays Brian Banner in my film, to have as my 'celebrity' on the front.

I then found a big chunky font from DaFont fro my title 'The Lens'. I then gave it a black stroke to make it stand out more.

Before:
After:
See, much better.

I then added the small but important information underneath the title.
I then gave it a dark red stroke so that it is easier to see what it says.
Then I added my main subject from the magazine. The 'Man Behind The Green'. I added a black stroke whilst making the writing green.
I then started adding the titles of the other contents in the magazine. Keeping the colour theme strictly to red and green. I added a stroke to them all.

After that i added a splash, stating there is a free poster.

Then finally, I added the barcode.
