My Magazine Cover Drafts

For my first design I chose a blue and black theme as I saw this on a few magazine covers I had looked at; total film, entertainment weekly and premiere. I felt like this was a subtle yet bold colour to use so that it wasn't too bright but it was also eye catching.
For my title on this design I chose 'Sequence' to represent how films are made in a specific sequence. I chose to place my main image of Kieran, the main character in our film trailer, over the top of the text like I had seen on total film and empire a number of times.
For my pug I chose a light blue circular shape with a dark blue outline and then the text 'WIN exclusive tickets to all new Fragmented' to make my audience pick up and buy my magazine.
Something that I had seen on total film magazine that I wanted to incorporate was the header 'the action genre special edition' that I felt was extremely appealing to my target audience through my film trailer, poster and magazine cover. I chose to have this in dark blue writing and with a light blue line seperating it from the rest of the text on the page.
