Developed poster and magazine cover ideas

After having created my poster ideas from my photo shoot, I have now edited my chosen photos to create my final desgin. I added fonts and texts to  each design so it fits in well to the 'horror theme', and also from which reflected well from my research.
1. Poster - I changed the colour of my photo to black and white so it gave out a chilling effect to the audience. I added red text to the poster so it stood off the page; 'coming soon' and the actors names so they were presented as eye catching. The title 'snatched' is also in red to give a spooky and horror feel to it and I spent time giving it a professional looking by adding shadowing and a 3D effect with it being slightly slanted to make it look immediately effective. I also put the tag line in red straight below it to bring about a thrilling theme. I put the age certificate which is a 15 on the left hand side of the page which is a convention of a film poster plus with the small print at the bottom page, which includes director, the productions company, actors and copyright information. I chose the particular picture because she is looking away from the camera to show the audience there is something wrong with her frightened and scared facial expressions, which draws the audience in.
2. Magazine Cover - I chose this particular picture to catch the readers eye straight away as I think that her eyes make the magazine look effective, as they are wide open to show her shock and distressed state. I added typical conventions to a magazine such as the bar code, issue number, date, and price. I promoted the film 'snatched' and highlighted and used persuasuive wording.
