This is the final magazine front cover. I created this in Photoshop, so their fore I had many different tools and fonts to use on this. With the main image being centered I changed the shadow amount and contrast of the image and also using the burn tool around her eyes to make them stand out which I think gives the effect of darkness, all of the different techniques and effects worked well together as it adds to the genre of horror, which then shows clearly to the viewer what 'The Senseless' is all about. I created this front cover whilst looking and referring to the real Empire Magazine that is sold in shops at the moment. I used the same layout of the magazine for example making the image centered and placing the writing on either side of the image and also how the free-bees are placed near the bottom of the front cover, as well as sticking to the colour scheme of red white and black. I think the ending product is very good and effective as is it is eye catching and welcoming to readers as it brings them in with the clearly shown free products inside.
These are the different stages.
Also I added in another free-bee, which is the poster I created for 'The Senseless', which I thought would be a good and creative way to add both together in one.
Then I added in a free-bee which attracts the readers attention into buying the magazine.
Then I added the bar-code in the bottom right hand corner, as I think this is the most appropriate place for it to go.
Then I inserted all of the text and the lines which split each section up from each other. I used the color scheme of red and white for the text but using a back and blue background which all relate to the color scheme of the real Empire Magazine.
From their I inserted the main information which includes the website, the main fact and the issue date and price. I did this in the color white so it stand out from the dark background.
I changed it by cropping the image down, so the model stands out more and is the main focus, as well as creating the EMPIRE text.
This is the original image I used. 
This is the original Empire Magazine that I refereed to whilst putting together my final magazine.

This looks so professional, just like the the real one that you posted at the bottom. I think you've linked all three together really well as you can tell that they're all linked. You've used good photoshop skills by merging the image and the writing all together, as the finishing outcome fits the typical conventions of the genre horror.
Your magazine cover follows the key conventions of a magazine and looks really professional. You have used a consistent colour scheme and have editited your photo well, and made it central on the page making it stand out and eye catching to the audience. You have kept the consistent theme of horror throughout the magazine which indicated the genre of the film to the audience.
