This is the magazine cover that I produced for our film "The Last Rave". I have made the title the main focus on the page so it stands out in the shops. Also I chose to have it in red as this is a conitation of blood which is a common factor in most horror films. I highlighted other words in red to keep with the horror theme and make the layout of the cover more interessting. To make my magazine cover look more realistic I included a price, issue, barcode and sub headings. There are also features for other films, this would be expected when in a film magazine.
I produced the magazine cover using paint shop pro. Using the "Layer" tool allowed me to have two images with different transparency which meant I could achieve a ghostly effect. Once I had the back ground, title and barcode I merged the layers together and saved it. To finish the cover off I opened it in word and added text that is commonly found on film magazine covers.
