Film Poster - FINAL Edit

This version has:

  • Tiny layout changes to provide text large enough to read, and enough spaces between items to clearly define between them.
  • I have also added the names of all of my cast, with the two main stars placed first, and my smaller parts placed last (in order: Joshua Wright, Paige Windley, (with) John Hamlin (and) Grace Moxon, Charlotte Medhurst Robert Gibbs)

Film Poster - Draft


This version of the film is a mixture of my two drafts, with the layout of the first version, and the content and images of the second version.

I prefer this version, as the 'static' background gives more depth than the plain black background, and the gun image is more prominent than the 'viewfinder' image. Overall, I preferred the layout of my first version (portrait) with the content of my second (gun/award wreaths), so I decided to merge them.

Film Magazine - Final

I have made several changes:

  • Included magazine name and issue number on barcode
  • Cover lines redesigned to look more like a traditional magazine.
  • Selling line quote added below masthead.
  • Reorganised layout.
  • More textured background.

Film Magazine - Draft


This is a draft of the front cover of my film magazine, "Fifty Shades of Film". Designed to parody the popular adult book by E.L. James, Fifty Shades of Film features a similar colour, font and style layout to the front cover of Fifty Shades of Grey, with the image of a gun has replaced the image of the tie.

However, I have added some slight differences:

  • A skyline at the top of the cover, with the date of publication, issue no., editor name and price.
  • A barcode towards the bottom left.
  • A content block, similar to the 'film block' credits that appear on commercial film posters.
    • Instead of a production role in larger letters, with the name of the person in smaller letters, the content block has subheadings in larger letters, with content 'teasers' in smaller letters. I have also added an "ALSO:" line at the top.
There are still some changes I need to make. The layout of the barcode and the content block do not complement each other (the space between the barcode and content block is too small), and there is only one image (though I probably will not add others, the background of the cover does not look very appealing, due to the amount of space available.)

Film Poster v2 - Draft


Though similar to my previous draft, this poster has multiple differences:

  • Landscape image.
  • 'Gun' image instead of 'viewfinder screen' image
  • Four 'award wreaths' above the credit block
  • YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, BBFC Certificate and QR code have been removed.
  • Overall layout has changed.
I do not know, at this point, which image to choose as my final ancillary. Although this version does look 'busier' (ie has more content), I fear there may be too much content (another draft may be made.)
