AncillaryTask 2- Magazine Cover Final Draft

Improvements Made:

• Starting from the top, I have increased the size of the title for the magazine, so that it now covers the width of the magazine. This clearly stands out to readers now who will find it easier to identify the magazine.
• The 'M' and 'W' within the title have also been placed in a separate colour from the rest of the title, after feedback response suggested this would create a more recognisable brand identity.
• Issue number and date released have also been included for readers to identify the most current issue. A website has also been added to further promote the magazine across other forms of media.
• The title of the main film for which this issue is covering has also been squeezed tighter together after feedback revealed spacing was to large which detracted from the title of the magazine.
• Similarly, the 'Plus' subheading has also been brought closer to its content below for similar reasons.
• The star shape logo has also been brought further away from the main image of the interviewee to clearly promote the unique content inside of an exclusive interview.
• The advertisement for a free poster at the bottom of the cover has also been arranged more centrally and now features an outer glow to help improve its visibility on top of the background image. This was because of criticism previously that readers could not clearly read all the text.

Ancillary Task 2- Magazine Cover Second Draft

Feedback:

• Text stands out well. Title is bold and stands out against background.
• Mention of free poster is harder to see on hand. Maybe make it bolder if possible.
• Film world could be bigger or stretch it across the screen. Spread across the page. Add colour block along the time and put the tag line there.
• Move the puff out more into the image so it doesn't blend with the image. Move left so its not over characters face.
• Move the plus down so it fits in with the bullet points.
• Needs month or issue number for added information for readers.
• Have the M and W different colour or font to create a brand identity for this magazine.
• Photo has good lighting and the gradient from black to white works well as the photo has a white glow around.
• Put Six String and liberty closer together as to not distract attention away from advertsisng the magazine through its title and slogan.
