Mock-up magazine cover

This is another example of a mock-up magazine cover. We had secure ideas on what we wanted to include. These were:

Ø The title of the magazine to be in this format

Ø To have banners at both the top and bottom

Ø To have the colour scheme of greys, blacks and reds

Having these secure initial ideas meant that we could work better to achieve our planned idea.

As part of the process of creating our final ancillary product, we designed mock-up magazine covers to experiment with conventions of a magazine. This is a basic outline of a magazine that I created. In doing this, I leaned that the composition of all of the elements of the magazine are important. Also that there are some codes and conventions of a magazine cover that you cannot challenge and that close attention to detail is essential. On this example I have also used the title of our magazine. We decided on 'Lights, Camera, Action' because we felt it was catchy and very relevant to films and the whole production process therefore would be appropriate for our magazine and the market that we are aiming at.
