Empire magazine

We decided to create a magazine cover for 'Empire' magazine as the genre of our film is most suited to this. We looked at many different covers and noticed that the pictures mostly focused on the main character rather than the actor/actress. We therefore made sure that Jenny wore the costume of the character (Lyndsey) instead of clothes in her own style. We chose Jenny to be wearing clothes of the more rebellious side of Lyndsey's character as it is more suited for a glossy cover and is also more eye catching. We chose a pose that would make her look attractive while still being in character, as the more rebellious character likes to be centre of attention.

When designing the cover we looked at the typical conventions of 'Empire' magazine, we made sure the date and price was in the typical place. That a strap line was at the top of the page, and text at the bottom showing what the content of the magazine was. We also added a banner saying 'special collectors edition' this was because as the film is more independent rather than a blockbuster. The text of 'Spiral' is in Courier which is the same as the poster, adding to the theme of film. To make the cover look more interesting we added a blue circle of light to the make the picture stand out.
