Editors Note Edition 2:

WELCOME TO VISION!

Thank you for your lovely feedback since our last encounter, we read as many messages as possible on all platforms. We truly appreciate you going out your way to message us such nice things. Along with appreciation, we received many messages regarding our choice of brand name - and we would love to answer here! VISION is all linked with eyesight and the act of watching. Originally, shorts videos called films were short, slow moving stock animation with no sound. Consequently, we at VISION believed by always linking todays film industry to the birth of film brought most significance, and will always remind us where our passion originated.

More exciting news - we have partnered with Shelter for this months edition! Shelter have vital, life-saving work working on the streets up and down the UK helping people escape poverty and gain solid grounding to begin news lives. We are thrilled to announce we will be donating 20% of all profits to Shelter this month. As a company, we at VISION the flamboyance and big-budget of the film industry needs to be acknowledged, and by partnering with Shelter we hope to help the hopeless and be viewed as a VISION for all.

This months will hopefully be providing some escapism in our world which is currently full of destruction and anger. By giving recommendations and learning about the industry, we hope to gift you an insight into this glorious world!

First draft contents and covers

 

Possible 2nd Cover

 These are two possible front covers for my magazine second front cover. I really like both covers. I like the first one because her face is stunning - shining in the limelight. Although I prefer the stance of the second and believes this show her off best.

Front Cover 1 - Editing

 I am pleased with my first mock up especially considering my photoshop skills this time last year. I believe my magazine shows many magazine conventions. The cover price, masthead, issue number, anchor etc. My only concerns would be not hitting the brief of the 'upmarket audience' as the colours and style may not be reflective. I have utilised Barthes semiotics theory through the red lighting and some red wording to highlight the horror theme on this front cover as this issue is released at the start of autumn season so people will be craving Halloween and cosy movies.
