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.
