I decided to make a few final changes to my magazine front cover in order to make it appear more professional. Firstly, I changed the background of my cover to a black and white wooded area so that it gave the audience a location. After looking at many magazine covers I noticed that a majority of these used an actual location in the background, thus inspiring me to change mine. The wooded area is often linked to thriller films, due to the dark and mysterious connotations of being lost or stalked here, which also linked to the themes of my trailer.
I then decided to add in another featuring image, as I felt that it filled more of the empty space, whilst also adding in stereotypical conventions of a magazine cover. Rule of 3 is often featured in magazine covers as this is a known persuasive technique used to entice the audience into reading the magazine.
Lastly, I spaced out the cover lines on the left hand side more in order to have a more balanced look to the cover as a whole. This was a little change, which was not essential, however I felt that it completed the professionalism of my cover.
