EMPIRE MAGAZINE COVER PRACTICE

We decided to use Empire film magazine covers as a basis to what we will base our final
product on. We had previously analysed different film covers to see what works initially
in professional magazine covers to entice an audience. From trying to make our own version
of an Empire magazine cover, we learnt that we should keep the colours basic.
Alongside this, we found using a simple background works. We could then pull colours from
our background to add it to our text or box colours. We also learnt not to make the cover
really busy or it will be overpowered and our message wouldn't get across.

Using eye catching colours helped as it made the magazine cover stand out. We used
the technique using Photoshop where you can get the exact same colour for your text as
in the background using a colour drop tool.
