FLICKS - image layout

 

I did a little bit of design context and decided to try this way to image layout. I have patterned the image behind the main one. This is a roughly version of it, just to try out the idea, I think it does look quite interesting, however I am going to play around with image layout more. 

I also think the saturation on this image is too high, it's needs to be slightly duller so the type can stand out. 

 

(desaturated)

 

(this was a mistake but there is something I like about it, I think it's the weirdness of it. I think if I tone it down somehow it could work)

 

 I still think it's too harsh? 

Hmm.

Angled and horizontal chops. 

Having the edge white, I quite like how the type oversets slightly. 

Testing out that layout with content I could include on the cover. 

I made the white slightly off-white and also made the text left aligned instead of centered. I also added a barcode. 

Image cropped to show the front cover only

I like how the image and type seems balanced. I also think the type is nice and clear and not too mixed in with the image. 

EACH MAGAZINE

I will have the same layout for each, perhaps with different coloured type

Each will also contain 5 other films being featured in magazine, with the cover image the top title.
