Magazine Deigns

Here is the initial mock up of the magazine cover. It follows all of the conventions of a magazine cover, for example following the Z pattern that can be seen on the cover. The Z pattern is the route that your eyes automatically follow across the page, starting from top left, too top right, too bottom left, too bottom right.
Also the colours all follow the conventions of that of a horror film, with a dark background and red writing, holding connotations of blood and death. Also there is a large iconic image in the centre of the page, with a large masthead across the top of the page. the title of the film is clearly advertised at the bottom, with smaller articles down the side of the page.

This is the classic and iconic image of the axe that will be used in the magazine AND poster.
