Magazine Cover


This is our final magazine front cover. Overall I am really happy with how this has turned out, as it took a lot of deliberation over what to do with the background and I feel that this looks professional enough to be a real magazine cover. I like the photo of Lauren as she is in character as Savannah by dressing up on the ballet costumer featured in the trailer and poster however she also looks quite natural as she is just sat down smiling, so it is a mixture of her character and herself which I think is common on magazine covers. I also think the layout looks very similar to the original Odeon cover. We managed to download similar fonts to the ones featured on the cover and added the sparkles on the letter using an effect on photoshop. The main 'odeon' title we copied off another image and pasted into our photoshop piece, and then edited the colour and background of the text and smoothed the edges as it had gone blurry from it being stretched.

Similarly to our poster, we added the subtle pink tint to the whole image, maning that the background was not as grey as when we first started and gave it more of a ballet feel to it. our final addition to the cover was the wording of 'The Dance Edition' below the title. This helped to establish the colour scheme of the black and pink writing used throught the cover.

Magazine Influences


When we were assigned the magazine cover task, the first thing we had to decide was which magazine would best suit our film being featured on the front cover. After much deliberation we decided on Odeon Magazine as after looking at other magazines such as Empire and Little White Lies, we realised that Empire featured an action blockbuster on the front cover and Little White Lies was too edgy for our film. After seeing this cover we realised we could also use the stars on the text as i would relate to our dance genre. We also thought the pink and white writing of the theme would suit our film's delicate image of a ballet dance-genre film.
