Ancillary Task 1 - Magazine Cover

After receiving feedback on my magazine cover, I have made a few changes. The biggest ones being simply removing an exclamation mark and changing the wording of one of the features. Below is my new version of the magazine cover, and below that is the original version.

This is my first Ancillary Task. On 4th April, I spent a few hours editing the photo to suit the magazine cover on Photoshop. I then proceeded to add text to the photo to make it seem more like a magazine cover. I feel that our efforts have produced a professional looking front cover. I kept the font for the film title the same - to keep the synergy across the different media platforms. In the real world, this would hopefully allow audiences to recognise our product easier. I also tried to attract audiences with news on the Academy Awards and a competition. A competition was also featured on the front cover of the Empire Magazine that I was constantly comparing our magazine to. The competition will hopefully attract more audience members because there may be a fan that would like to be in a film or even an aspiring actor that would like a shot at being in a professional film. There is also a feature describing what was released "10 years ago", this is because there is a section in my PlayStation Magazine that I receive every month that does the same thing - I always find it interesting to see how many differences there are between products made 10 years ago and films made now.
