After changing the colours I still have some of the same text , i have been changing the text and the colours testing what works and what doesn't to find an effective colour scheme which works with the magazine. i like the idea of having pinks and reds as these link to the girly theme of the drama and then which can now fit the thriller.
For the photography I have picked to use the Villain as such the character isn't a villain and is miss understood , they feature on the poster and the magazine as this character and her mental state is the key focus of the film. so she is the key and main focus of the poster.
through trial and error I have come up with these drafts. I now have a costume which matches the colour theme plus photography which works. having her finger to her lips is to resemble silence or to keep her bad side a secret. The character comes across as nice however isn't and this is meant to resemble that. Compared to the poster she has no make up and the make up and none make up was a choice to represent the characters different sides. Dark lips and a full face of make up is maybe used to be a mask covering her old self and to resemble her new self.
I like the positioning of the image and the blending i used to make it met into the background , I also edited the photo slightly. The shot which is a portrait of the person is eye catching as she makes eye contact with the camera and she has a very piercing eye colour. I also like the red pink colour scheme as it matches the outfit.
However it still isn't fully complete.
Changes which need to be made after this draft
- The writing context isn't fully relevant as it is from older copies and may need to be changed
- " a teen girls worst nightmare" is used on the poster so I want to change the phrase ( i predre it in the white colour)
- Add some more stories to the colour
- Add some detail/ texture/ shadow/ gradient to the plain black background to add to the photo ( although this needs to be tested)
- change the date to one of relevance
- Make sure text and images are all linked and work well together as well as specific things being over the top of other.
- I have also thought about changing the colour as the red and the dark purple/ pink colour don't seem to work to well together.
After some changed I decided to make this is what I have came back with after looking at the first one and seeing the blue colour i thought about using that and as purple is used in the poster there similar without being the same. The colours red white and blue work well together however could resemble america as a theme as its the colours of the flag and other movie icons such as captain america , however i thought it was a good mix of having a darker red which doesn't stand out to much with a mix of blues.
However i don't like the edge of the photo and may wish to change this as it would improve the over all look. The photography is meant to be one of the key elements which draws the attention of the readers of the magazine. i may try the magazine with some different photography.I like the colour added to it as it gives it more of a meaning and it adds to the magazine. however I think that the blue takes away from the image. I picked this photography as it was a medium shot and had the head and shoulders of the actress and this was common when I looked into research so it must have some attractiveness and must be an effective style of photography used in the magazine.
To gain a better understanding of what the audience want I am going to do a focus group so that I can get feedback from the intended target audience.
