MAGAZINE DRAFT 2.

In this draft I have incorporated on the magazine sub-text. I had to make the it black and white so it could be seen because of the background. The bar code is on the bottom right hand corner so it is not so prominent. Underneath the strap-line 'FEW' I have put in black small font 'Film Entertainment weekly'. In the F of 'FEW' I have put down the side 'FEWUK.COM'. I have done this because main-stream magazines have websites and it can be seen as easily accessible to the audience. I have priced the magazine at £1.90 because it is a weekly magazine and would not be priced as much as a monthly one would be.

The main reason why I have made this magazine so simple is because I feel it will get more in touch with my target audience. Unlike many commercialised magazines it does not have the effects and graphics that they may have. The reason I have done this is because my chosen target audience see themselves as the 'unconventional' and 'simplistic'. They prefer the 'old-fashion' approach than than the modern graphics because they feel out of touch. They are far more interested in the past rather than the future and have a 'nostalgic' approach to life.

I have chosen the model to look into the camera so she is engaging with the audience, I want them to feel as if she is tending to their needs and that they feel a special connection with her. They want to know more about her world because they are completely enticed by her sullen, nonchalant look of 'cool'.

I have kept the cigarette in the picture, not for promotion, but to use as an icon for French New Wave.

Adding onto this I have put the text in black and white in order for it to not dominate the main image and magazine title. I think it is key to keep it as simple as possible because then it will mirror the likes of the 60's magazine front covers where everything was kept to the bare minimum.

FIRST DRAFT OF MAGAZINE COVER.
This is the magazine cover, I have chosen this picture because it of the eye contact the model has with the audience. It engages them with the magazine and creates a 'bond' between the reader and the image. The photo is in black and white because the film will also be, it also creates an archaic feel, because the film is set in the 60's. The iconography in the picture links in the with the film I am creating, because in the 60's everyone smoked and it had a casual, cool element to it. I have placed the image over the top of the strap-line so it can be seen as the primary issue on the page. The strap-line 'FEW' is in red so it stands out from the black and white image and appropriately attract the audience.
