Progress with Magazine Cover

This is our first draft of our magazine cover:


There are many things that need adjustments in this draft.
First of all the masthead is too small for the title of a magazine. This need to be enlarged to become more prominent.
 
Secondly, the blue band over the bottom of the magazine would need to be infrount of our main image of our three main characters. This band is there to be a base for text and images and when it is behind our main image there is no room to put this on there.
 
Lastly, there is text that needs to be added, but as this is just a first draft to work out compostion, this can be added later. We quite like the shot and the blending effect also works well. We used the wall background to reflect the scene in the trailer where the photographer explains that his girlfriend has been kidnapped and because it creates quite a useful neutral but textured background. Here we have extacted the characters, made the whole photo lighter and reduced the opacity, and then copied the characters back over the top to make them stand out. However, we are all starting to think that a darker background might be better.
