I think it's about time to start my print component... I'm doing a 2 page magazine spread. As I mentioned before, a big focus of mine is the aesthetic of it since I think it would be more successful in attracting my viewers and catching their little short-attention span eyes. So I'm using Canva obviously, it's the only answer in this situation.
I started with a template so I had a guide to start with and Canva has some really pretty templates so it's perfect for the job. I'm focusing on the design first, the layout and spacing, and then the content (writing and pictures). That may be the wrong way to do it, but it's the way that works for me, I'm a visual person so...
This is what it's looking like so far:
This is by no means the final version! I'm still thinking of different colors to use, I want to make the title less boring, and I'm also thinking of adding a heading at the top that would make it like a recurring column of the magazine called "Up-and-coming Film" or something like that. So far I think its a healthy balance of images, which I have to make sure are captivating, and writing. I also love the idea of having a little interview section, perhaps with the director, and making it little bullet points of question and answer to break up the monotony of the blocks of writing.
