Poster and Magazine Front Cover Drafts

Here i will be drawing out my poster and magazine front cover as a draft using paper and pencil. I will post them on my blog to see where i began so i can show my development to when i finish them in Adobe Photoshop.

This is the first draft of my poster-

This first draft shows where i am going to position each of the features that need to be on the poster.
I have placed the tagline at the top of the poster as i want people not to miss that aspect of the film as i dont want the image and the title to over power the tagline and therefore the audience may not read it. Also as a group we are doing a psychological horror so i we could explain some of the storyline through the tagline so it must stand out.
The main image will be in the middle of the poster which is because most poster's have the image covering it and i want to follow the conventions of current posters so that my poster will look professional. Also i have placed it in the middle so that it is what most people will notice first.
The title will be placed just under the image so that it stands out and as most people look at the image mainly then if the title is just below they will not miss it.
Any further details will be placed underneath as they are not the most important thing yet they still need to be on the poster as these details give more about the release of the film.

This is the first draft of my Magazine Front Cover-


The name of the magazine will be positioned at the top of the magazine so that everyone will see it and also as it is important to know the name of the magazine is should be positioned at the top. Also most magazines put the name at the top then i would like to follow this so that my magazine will look real.
Underneath this i will put the title of the film as this is the next most important feature of the magazine. I want this to stand out just as much or even more than the name of the magazine. As i am advertising the film then the title is very important and should be postitioned at the top.
The image is the main focus of my magazine as like many other film magazines. I will be using the character as my image rather than the actor as i want to make the magazine as much about the film as i can but also showing other features such as other film information.
The barcode and price etc will be in the corner as they are not very imporant parts of the cover yet do need to be positioned on there so that it looks professional.
