Final Magazine Cover

This is the 100% finished magazine cover. I have added depth to the image and shadows and tones to the text to make it blend in more with the page. I also corrected the spelling mistake. I am pleased with the final cover. I think it connects with the other products i have produced, for example i have kept with the black and white theme throughout, adding red into the ancillary tasks to suggest danger and set a mood to the film, whilst also adding extra colour. Although the image of the actress was a photograph, i have tried to make it look like a still shot from the film. This is so that it fits the codes and conventions of film magazines, such as Empire, where my earlier research shows that the actors are as their character on the cover (Wolverine) or a shot from the film has been incorporated onto the cover (Public Enemies screen shot). I didn't want the text to overpower the cover as i wanted it to be simple yet effective, which is the look i was trying to achieve with my Promo Poster. I feel I have managed to achieve a simple yet effective front cover to a film magazine, whilst incorporating conventions from the Film Noir genre and general film magazines such as Empire.
