Things to be included on my magazine front cover

Things that need to be included on the front cover of a film magazine are things like:

1. Name of the magazine

2. Sub-heading of the magazine

3. Features that are included within the magazine; main feature and smaller ones.

4. Bar code

5. Date

6. Issue number

7. A section stating it's a new magazine.

The title of the magazine I am producing is 'Glued', this is because I wanted it to be something related to films, but films that were exciting enough for the viewer to not want to look away and that they were 'glued' to their seat. Another reason I chose this name over some of the others I was considering, is because it's short and snappy, and I also believe it's memorable.

The sub-heading I thought of using was 'The best film reviews'. I chose this because, as it's a film magazine, it needed to be film related, so I chose something that seemed as though it had been awarded the title of having the best film reviews, yet it is just an opinion of the writers which could be having their reviews published in this magazine. Although I first wanted to use this, I have now decided that using 'The most honest reviews yet' would be better, as being honest in modern society, especially in the media, can be controversial, which would be more attractive to people who like indulging in the mediated world.

Other features which I wanted to include on my front cover are going to be other films that are going to be out in the near future. Films such as 'Clash of the Titans', 'Remember Me' and 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'. When presenting these features on the front cover of my magazine, as well as stating that there is going to be a review of the film within the magazine, it will also state other things related to the film feature such as quizzes etc.

I would like the date of the magazine to be April 2010, as this would account for the production time if it was to be put into production, but also because of the date releases of the films it's featuring would still be suitable for this release date of the magazine. The issue number on the magazine would be issue 1, which I would also want to mention somewhere else on the magazine, by stating something like 'The New Film Magazine.. Ready to excite!'
