Now that I am close to finishing my movie trailer and have finished my research into my ancillary products I have started to construct my magazine front cover as shown by the images above. I have decided to use one of my city pictures originally for my poster,http://lewisglennonmediaa2.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/organisation_20.html as the background. I did this because I felt it was a strong image to use of a major city, to show what Poezzi and Castro are fighting for as well as the darkness reflecting the film. Having also looked at the Empire magazine cover for Empire magazine in a previous blog,http://lewisglennonmediaa2.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/blog-post_31.html, I decided to base my magazine on that front cover, as I really liked how the cover lines are based around the main characters and it shows the audience that they are rivals. So therefore I picked two strong images of Poezzi and Castro and imported them onto the background and placed them back to back. I then placed the main cover line over them with two sub titles and copied the little bio bit about the two characters. I then added in a pug offering two free posters to help attract my target audience to the magazine. I then added in a 'gang wars' heading above the title of the magazine similar to 'the crime issue' used in the American Gangster film. This will help show the audience the premise of the film as well as pulling them in again. I have then added in stranded conventions such as datelines and bar-codes by importing in an image of the bar-code so I stick to the general conventions. I still have a lot to add onto this cover, but I am happy with where I am and how it looks at the moment.
