With many tweaks and much re-positioning of items I finally constructed a layout that flowed with the background. With all real information (excluding the interview) and original imagery (both photographs taken by myself), the magazine is legally legitimate.
Colours were selected carefully: black and white to contrast from background, reds to show exclusive information and blue to match that of the sky, water etc. to further appeal to my target audience.
With no 'cheesey' sticker-like pugs and only one tagline, the magazine is entertaining yet serious enough to appeal to my target audience.
I have two pieces to decide between; the only difference being the image in the bottom-right corner. The first cover shows a candid shot of my subject with a slackline. The slackline and the person themselves appeal to my target audience. The second cover shows Matt kite-boarding with a snowy mountainous backdrop. This scene appeals slightly more to my target audience, however the personal feeling of relatability is greater when making eye contact with the subject looking at you in the first cover image. As well as this the colours (lower-key and brown) suit the magazine cover and are less distraction. For these reasons the first cover will be the base of my final piece.
After some feedback and matching with the specification it became evident the poster is not enough like other film magazine posters I have analysed in previous posts. Although the conventions match the text content does not. I will revise my poster and create one which better resembles a film-specific magazine.
