Drafts for Poster:

The poster above has alot of potential in my opinion, the simplicity of it should make it stick in the demographics head and stand out when next to other film posters. Also the simplicity of the shot should make the process of taking it easy which I feel should let me get a higher quality finish to the product.

The poster above has pros and cons, i feel the image is striking, however it is very conventional to have a shot like this for a horror poster, this is not the genre my film fits into thus it may not be the best design for me to use.

Above is my third and final design for my poster, this design is the most abstract of the three, I think it is a powerful design, however it is also misleading as to what the story line of the short film is about.



Drafts for double page spread:

The design above was supposed to create depth upon the page, by having the title of the film in the centre of the page it allows the image to lie back on the page and not be as prominent as the text. The image itself will be a dark shot of the protagonist during the time she is changing into the older character, this will not be a pretty shot but should attract my target audience.

The double page spread above focuses upon using a high contrast of black and white to attract the audience, this will make the article stand out to the readers.

This double page spread will use the conventional tool of using a still shot from the short film, by doing this the readers will be able to get a feel for the film in a way that they would not otherwise get from a photoshoot picture.
