Ancillary Task Research

I used google to research into exisiting horror film posters and movie magazines. I found this very helpful when deciding my layout, font to use and when creating my billing block.
I found that the posters always contained mainly just the one image that was bold and eye catching and fitted with the horror conventions, making it obvious to the viewer what genre of film it is. The image would also link back to th plot of then film.

I used EMPIRE as a template for my own magazine. I found this easier because it already had a bold title that I could also use, and by doing this it also made it look more professional. It also helped when creating the layout and additional graphics such as the film strip used.
