Magazine making-

I had many pictures left over from my poster creation so I didn't need to take any new ones because all the pictures were taken to address a horror convention and my magazine is also horror so revising them was wise. these are a few of the pictures I've taken from before-

All these pictures were taken at the same time and I wanted to achieve a sense abnormality through the picture all of them do portray a sense of surrealism but the picture below was the one we thought achieved richly in making the audience believe that something anomalous is happening because of the pictures characteristics e.g the hand over the face and the distorted facial expression suggest something is wrong. Its the aspects of this picture which make it effective, the 'natural' pixelated view allows the audience to see a natural abnormality before actually looking at the main image. We used 'Photo-shop' to experiment on different effects that could add the pixels and we did we managed to slightly blur the facial features, hand and arm to aide the weird abnormal effect.

After deciding that the picture above will be the main image for our magazine we worked on the typography. Through previous research, we already know that most horror magazine are aimed at male audiences this is shown through the typography, text, slogans and choice of colour and colour schemes. e.g. renowned magazine below- The colour scheme for this magazine is black and red both of these colours relate to horror BLACK being the colour of darkness and RED being the colour of blood make a coalition that subliminally makes this magazine effective.

with what we know we were ready to make our magazine.
