Progress...

This is the start of my magazine cover which I have been doing using Photoshop. First, from the original images I took of Hayley looking disorientated in the Photography area, I cut her out and tided the edges of her up. I wanted to go for the style of empire magazine where they use the background like a scene from the film. This was tricky as I started off with a blurred background with almost like a blackhole or mirage of photos of the friends in the background. It didn't really look right and hurt my eyes so I settled for a textured background which looks like a wall which gave me the idea to have the images of the best friends in a perspective point of view, tilting backwards as if Hayley is looking back on her life.

Next I added the headline. I think that it stands out from the cover and follows the theme of a movie magazine by incorporating the movie strip reel. At the moment, I haven't added much text other than the halloween special edition down the side, following the research and trends of when thrillers and horror would be released.
