As well as the trailer and the poster I will be doing either a magazine cover or a website to accompany my film. Here I have looked at two examples of magazine front covers, and many of the themes and conventions are similar to those I saw in music magazines. Things like the large central image as the background with text and smaller images around the outside as well as the use of different colours and text size to create a hierarchy shouldn't be to complicated to apply to my film. For the main photo I will use a scene from the film just like the four above, perhaps a dark shot of the attacker silhouetted in the light of the victims torch, or a image a the victim alone in the woods running for his life. From these two examples at least I noticed a break from normal magazine convention in the font of the magazine title. Here the name of the magazine is written in a font and style that is specific to the film on the cover, with the cityscape from "Inception" and the neon blue strips of light found in "Tron". The same thing is clear for "hellboy" and "salt" the art and graphical style of the title fits with the fictional pathos of the film, if I can implement this effectively into my cover then I will do so. The top example has a few elements would like to include in my own work, these include using boxes to highlight article titles, using subtle colour gradients on large texts and I would also like to include a "PLUS+" section as this is a theme in all of these examples. Other techniques I can implement include alternating between bold and regular font and the use of circles to display special articles.
