Latest drafts

These are my latest drafts of my products: 

 

Overall, my poster reflects a drama genre, with the dark colour scheme and facial expression of the actress. I have kept a black and green colour scheme to hint at the camp/army theme, with a contrast to the white wedding dress. I have kept very little information on the poster because I wanted it to be mysterious and left to the audience's own interpretation. I kept a lot of common poster conventions, like the credit box on the bottom and the title of the movie being the largest font, as well as a tagline, the two main actors names and a quote from a well know and well respected newspaper. I feel that the poster would benefit from a change in font for the actors names, brightening up the colour of them and I would like to consider a change of layout or position of the information of the bottom. I'm considering including the logos of Facebook and Twitter to put alongside the addresses on the bottom. I think I will also brighten up the title a little bit by making the colour closer to camouflage, which will also hint at the narrative more. 

My double page spread article is also almost complete. I have kept a purple and white colour scheme because I thought they went well together and the purple is attractive and eye catching. However, I feel that I should probably change it to a better fitting colour, like greens and browns that will highlight the war theme.  I was researching what articles in film magazines commonly looked like and I decided to similarly have a mixture of images from scenes in the film, but also a photoshopped image of the main character. I have captioned all of the images, to make sure the readers understand what is going on in them. The opening paragraph explains what the film is about, which I found was common in a lot of review articles. I have also included an 'Update' box, which gives the reader the general information about the film, like who is starring in it and the production company etc. I think I should probably look into the size of the text and the box of my update section as it could be a little bit too big. Also, I want to change some of the fonts to make them look more professional and make the box at each top corner a little bit smaller.
