This is the finished version of the magazine cover that I created as a part of our marketing campaign for our product. I tried to follow a lot of the typical conventions of a magazine cover such as:
A large masthead at the top of the magazine, with an image slightly overlapping the text
Coverline - text presenting the contents of the magazine down the side of the cover
A film reel at the bottom featuring new releases similar to the genre of Deranged
Bar code
Magazine price (on a closed fist in the top right of the page)
Magazine issue number and release of the date (left of the bar code)
Large images covering most of the page (the Deranged characters) - images and background are blurred which is also a common convention
Masculine colours (red, black and blue) and limited colours are used which is common. Red and white dominate the colours as well as dark colours such as black and blue.
Capital letters on all of the text to connote excitement and importance of text
Images from other films as USP (because there are Hollywood actors in these images - i.e Morgan Freeman, Daniel Craig and Colin Firth)
A pug (the closed fist in the top right corner that appears to be punching towards the reader with the price on it)
Punctuation used 'Chances to win some KILLER prizes!' to add excitement
The website of the magazine is located at the bottom under the film reel
