This second draft is significantly different from my original block plan. The biggest difference is the type of image I decided to use whilst creating this draft of the magazine. My research of existing magazine covers showed me how the convention is to have a singular person on the cover in a powerful stance, which I decided to use using the antagonist of the trailer. I also decided to challenge convention by positioning this image on the right side of the frame so as to allow significant space on the left of the frame for the subheadings. Another change I made was to add a special promotional line at the top reading 'Horror Edition' as I felt that this would attract an audience that enjoys horror films and wishes to read about past and upcoming products. I decided to use alternating white and red for the article subheadings as red connotes blood and the white stands out against the two darker colours, especially the black background. I kept the title of the trailer at the bottom of the page as I felt this was the most practical place to position it, I have also seen this done on the covers of many issues of Empire.
