Magazine Re-Creation: Scream

This is the magazine we've created as if we were the creators of Scream and our short film was featuring on the front cover. We have kept to the similar themes and conventions of the magazine company so that our magazine looks similar and to the same standard of quality. We have used the same font for the masthead, and used puffs in the same way with boxes along the side of the front cover. Along the bottom we've found a few articles that we want to feature inside the magazine and done this in a similar style to the number 1 horror magazine. We have made this magazine to represent Scream magazines in general and for it to look like scream made the magazine we created.

Our first step to recreating the magazine was to remove the background from the masthead and then change the colours to suit our colour scheme better. We then had to edit around the image of the golliwog so that we could use it as the main central image and have a background behind it. After this we found some blood splatters via google to use as a border to our puffs. We used multiple different blood splatters so that it has variation and looks more like a long line of blood. We then edited these so they were of different lengths and sizes and so each box would look different. The next step was to find images for each puff and then decide on the text that would caption the image. We then created some other article ideas using upcoming horror films to make the poster up-to-date. The last steps were to apply the finishing touches, such as the strap line, the pricing, the barcode as well as any other little pieces of text. The very last thing we did was apply a gradient to the bottom of the golliwog so that the text for the main article could stand out against the golliwog's legs.
