Magazine cover development and final piece

Once I had my style model for the film magazine and i knew what i was going to base my magazine off i had to use some more of the images i had captured during the filming of the trailer itself to create another photoshopped image to use on the front of my magazine.

These were the two images which would be the main building blocks of my magazine front cover. This cover would look more like a combination of both faces molded together into one, i.e. half of each of the characters faces would be put together and presented as one being on the front of the magazine despite it looking like two different people.

This would involve using the GIMP software again in order to get the cutouts of both faces and fuse them together onto the same canvas much like the last one. The image fusing process did not take very long and was very simple to do, after a few text adjustments with the font "agent orange" eventually the two became one and gave way into the image below.

This image would then be added onto a balnk publication in the program publisher and used as part of a magazine front cover, the tagline reads "there can be only one..." parodying the highlander tagline for comedic effect.

The magazine was laid out in publisher for the images and text to all be added to later on, the magazine itself would be called "FILM ROULETTE" as it suggests that it deals with all sorts of films be the the high winners such as Avatar or the low loosers such as Clash of the Titans.

After looking extensivly at many different varients of the Empire magazine i determined that the best way to lay the magazine out would be to have small section at the top for the magazines selling line, date and price. The main section would house the magazine title and main film story and then have a small bit at the bottom with 2 or 3 smaller stories to take up space. All the images used in the magazine were manipulated in some way to make them my own.

What follows is the magazine itself.

The Magazine uses the white background effectively by making use of the black and red text, with the fade in effect at the bottom from where the smaller stories are. All the smaller stories are then housed in a cartoon film reel strip in each of the frames.

Although the title of the film is Luggage Boys, the tagline says "there can be only one", therefore it is only logical there can only be one Luggage Boy. The magazine is not advertising the film directly, it is hosting an interview with the stars of the film and the fact that the two have fused into one backs up the statement "there can be only one....LUGGAGE BOY"
