This is our magazine. We combined the key connotations of magazines with our own style to create this front cover for the first edition of Oblivion magazines. The main central image is the golliwog, with the left hand side given a shadowing effect. This makes the right side look a lot brighter and stand out. The bright reds are in the centre of the page and so draw lots of attention to the poster and the surrounding text. The masthead is a bold white font which contrasts the black background and so stand out to the audience. Under the masthead is our web address, which will hopefully be looked at by some audience members who then may want to connect with us more as a brand.
In the top right are the prices for our magazine. We are charging £4.99 or $8.99 for a copy as we need to charge a higher price because the reality is we won't ever sell many copies. However we didn't want to price it too high that no one would want to buy it. In the bottom right is the barcode and a QR code. The barcode is so that it can be stock checked and bought in stores, and the QR reader will hopefully interest the youth to see where it will take them.
The colour scheme for the poster is white, black and red. These colours were used as they match the colours of the golliwog, but also are typically used in horror genres, so using these colours helps the audience to quickly come to the assumption that the film is a horror. The puffs on the right hand side use these colours in alternation to show they are different and help them stand out individually. The puffs have details as to what will be in the magazine so the audience may be enticed into buying a copy.
