2. I used the contrast tool so
That I could darken out the
girl’s face to make her look
“eerie” and “anonymous” so
that all the audience can focus
on is the doll I used the burn tool
Make her hair brighter as well as her
PJ’s which make her look “innocent”
As they have hearts on them.
3. I then added the title “Empire” for my
magazine. I chose Empire because it is a
successful and popular magazine so it
would be great publicity for a new horror
movie especially if it is a “special horror
edition” because Empire rarely does that
which makes it more appealing for people
because it is different. I used the drop
shadow effect to make a slight darkness
overshadow empire to go with the
“spooky” theme of horror.
4. I added the small details such
As the barcode, date, a website
so that the reader can find more
Information online about
The issue and a price of the
Magazine. I also added a
Banner at the bottom with
information telling the reader
That there is information on
the top 100 horrors empire likes
which will interest the audience
To see if they agree.
5. I decided to move the model to the
right of the page because that way you
will be able to see the other cover lines
and also the full view of the girl holding
the doll so the writing doesn’t cover
the dolls face. Also I made the banners
smaller so you can see more of the girl’s
face and her bare foot which I thought
was effective because it shows her
vulnerability.
6. I then added the extra
cover stories to see if it
looked effective which I
believe it now does. I also
added the cross symbol as
many of Empire’s
magazines have this
symbol above their cover
stories.
7. Finally, I added the main
story cover for my
magazine about our horror
“dolly” I have used the
same font as my poster
“papyrus” to keep the
theme of the title and I
added a shadow backdrop
so it stands out against the
photo but it also adds an
eerie effect.
