Drafting and planning

Here is a draft I drew for my magazine cover. As stated in a previous blog, http://lewisglennonmediaa2.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/similar-products.html, I was intrigued by Empire magazines cover of Sherlock where they had Sherlock as the focal piece but with a shadow in the background to hint to the audience of danger. While I have yet to decide if Castro will feature on the front cover with Poezzi I thought this would be a cool idea to fit them both in but let the audience know that Poezzi is the protagonist. As shown here I have drawn Poezzi as the center piece holding a gun to let the audience know he is dangerous himself, but then in the background I will have Castro sort of lurking at the back looking at Poezzi to let the audience know he is his Nemesis. I think this will be a good idea as I can still base the cover lines around Poezzi as shown bu the picture, and I can let the audience know that they are gangsters by adding 'gang wars,' above the masthead. I will have Poezzi based over the masthead to show the audience that he is the main issue of the magazine and then will add in other cover lines and pugs to pull them in. While this magazine will be hard o construct as I will need to place Castro perfectly, I think it would be an effective cover. However I will continue to look at magazines and draft others before deciding what idea is best.
