Mock-Ups of Magazine
This template is for out first magazine mock-up it shows possible positions of masthead, date line, images and bar codes. The background of this mock-up will use a brushes to produce a broken glass effect.
|
The second mock-up design shows a different variation on the design on the text and display of other images then the first mock up in terms of the mast head the position doesn't change much as we think the location it's in is the most effective position for our final product. This mock ups background will be taken up mostly by the main image so has a very basic background.
|
The photoshop mock up design of the first paper mock up shows in more detail the background design which was created by downloading a brush off the internet and changing the opacity of the different levels, we developed this idea further then the paper mock ups to show the type face we will be using on the final products and to give a clear layout of the design.
|
The photoshop mock up of the second paper mock up design uses the same format for the masthead section as we feel this works well to represent the theme of our final products the connotations of read being blood the hand being people relates well to our zombie theme as a traditional image of a zombie is a disfigured rotting corpse usually covered in deep gushing lacerations and other peoples blood. The background follows the same simplistic design as the paper mock up.
|
The third mock up design shows a different possible layout to create some option if some of the target audience have a different preference the title is in the same place but it is incorporated into the design of the background instead of separate from the overall design but the date line is in a separate location along the side of the left third this design also shows possible locations for main tag lines. The background is also different in this mock up as it uses a different color scheme resembling the British flag which we though would appeal to our target audience as it represents British independent films as well as a interesting grunge splatter brush effect.
|
The last mock up follows smiler conventions as the first two in terms of the layout of the mast bead and location of the bar code and placing of other images we will place on the front cover, this mock up will use a more interesting background though, following smiler colour schemes as we feel these colours work to portray the tone of the magazine as a horror magazine. This will be a very simplistic design as the main focus of this mock up will be the main image.
|
The photoshop design of the third paper mock up go's into a lot more details in terms of texture of the background is allot more specific and allot more detailed grunge splatter brush effect we downloaded off the internet. This design however was developed in terms of placing and positioning of the main image. The rest of this design closely follows the format of the paper mock up and the colour scheme.
|
This photoshop design of the last paper animatic in terms of the background is the most detailed using 3 different brush effects combined to produce the interesting circle effects and gives the mock up a rotating finish we we feel represents our sub genera well as the cycle between human to zombie is a continues cycle again like the third photoshop mock up this design was developed to show a possible silhouette of the placing and position of the main image

Paper Mock-Ups of Poster
The first mock up for our movie poster shows the placing of the main image the film title the credits and the rating of the film we all agreed this layout would be best so used the same format for all of our poster designs. This mock up shows a dead disfigured zombie hand breaking through the surface as this is an iconic symbol of a zombie in terms of a dead body becoming reanimated and going on a hungry killing spree.
|
The second mock up for our movie poster shows a different possible type face but very similer conventions in terms of the layout and placing of the main image, the main image for this poster id designed to be a zombies mouth consuming human body parts as this represents the theme for our final products being the horror sub genre zombies with foam pretending from the mouth as this resembles the gas in the trailer that is the initial cause of the zombie outbreak.
|
The photoshop design of the first mock up shows possible colour schemes and more detailed layout of the possible type face for the title of the film and the stranded type face used for credits on most movie posters. This design was produced using tools on photoshop to create a circle in the center of the page then changing the opacity and then using an outer glow to create the gradually fading effect from the center of the circle outwards. The type face is very interesting in terms of relating to our final produce as on the letter A there is a skull the connotations of this being death or being dead which strongly represents Zombies
|
The photoshop design of the second paper animatic uses an interesting colour scheme as the colours used resembles a hazard sign or logo which fits well with modern horror films were the creation of zombies has been through an infection rather then re animation from the dead this concept of a zombie antagonist is used in our story line as well and the whole concept of an outbreak or infection links well with Hazards and being quarantined
|
The third paper mock up of out posters is more specific in terms of the suggestion of the content of the film of being about science and chemicals, along with what will be a very dark distorted effect background to represent a horror theme this will aid in suggesting the accident that causes the problems in the film. As the connotations of playing with chemicals are widely considered dangerous.
|
The last poster mock up is a very different theme showing a full zombie antagonist in a deformed manner this is the only poster to completely give away our zombie sub genre of zombies. The type face is designed to be formed in a blood smear in a pool of blood.
|
The photoshop design of the third paper mock up displays the dark distorted effect with the brushes used we feel this will work well in representing the science theme of our trailer this design was created using various different brush effects and differing levels of opacity to merge all these layers into a single background design. The type face used also resembles science room equipment relating back the the theme along with the colour to ensure the tone of the poster as a horror film is consistent and that the title of the film is the strongest and boldest colour on the poster to draw the viewers eye.
|
The photoshop design of the last paper mock up is designed to emphasize our horror sub genera being a zombie film the typical expectation in any horror film is lots of blood and gore, this has become the standard expectation of zombie horror films so as we are trying to appeal to that target audience while still giving our film a unique twist that makes people want to go and see it the colour scheme is designed to resemble that. Strong red colours resemble the blood with a grunge type brush effect to finish off the design. This poster was made using different strengths of red layered with a black background to really bring out the colours.

Possible Poses
|
Here are some of the possible poses our models may be using for our final products when they are in full costume and make up. We decided on these poses for a number of reasons firstly we thought that in the final designs these poses would be iconic and specific to our final product and secondly to portray the theme that this is a zombie film set in a college, we did this using the school table and chair as a prop the models could sit behind.
