research and planning: magazine social networking feedback


This is some social networking feedback from facebook about my horror magazine cover. The responce i got was very positive, people most liked the coloiur scheme of red, white and black and think the image i used works well. One piece of feedback i recieved was to change the slug line from 'movies biggest year ever', to movies biggest year yet'. I took this feedback on board and changed my slug line which helped it look more like a professional film magazine.

Research and planning: magazine progress

This is my magazine so far. I changed my magazine completely today and started the whole thing again, changing the photograph, fonts and colour scheme which i think looks better and relates to the genre more than my previous draft.
