Magazine Continued

after looking at the new movie poster, I have realised that the poster is a much higher quality than the magazine cover. This is a problem as I would like the magazine cover to be just as high in terms of quality as the poster. I think that the problem is with the image mainly. To rectify this problem I have considered putting a similar or the same landscape background in behind the magazine, as is behind the poster. My aim of doing this would be to make the edge of the models heads blend in more rather than look harsh against the pure white background. it would also make the whole thing more appealing and stand out more.
Although having this background here would not necessarily make my magazine fit in with the conventions of other movie magazine, who wouldn't necessarily have a background like this on the cover of their magazines. This could then be used to break the rules of conventions and be used as a tool to entice new audiences towards looking at my movie. However this may be difficult as the rest of the promotional package I have created does not force the boundaries of romance movies as far as a new audience may like.

I have also noticed a few more problems with the magazine cover, these include:
1. the spacings between different lines of texts.
2. The fonts of the different texts, as I have some which is Times New Roman, yet the rest remains to be Arial. Ofcourse, I will be keeping the masthead as Times New Roman as that works well, but I have decided to change the rest of the subheadings in the magazine to Arial. This will make the whole magazine look thought through, and not so 'mish mashed' together as it might have before. This will include changing the text underneath the masthead to Arial also. However I have also considered leaving the 'Love Never Leaves' title in TNR as this is the biggest of the headings and so will stand out more. It will also make the magzine look more 'together' with the masthead.

I think if i make these changes, the whole magazine will look alot more appeailing and stand out more. This will ultimatley be more beneficial for the film in the long run. However I am still at this time unsure as to whether the background fits with the magazine cover. I have decided to turn to my target audience and find out what they think, and see if they can come up with any suggestions as to what they think might look better, or what they might like to see on the cover of a magazine which is promoting a film that they would be likely to go and see.
