Re-creating a Film Magazine Front Cover

Original Magazine Cover

 My attempt at re-creation

Initially this involved finding the same picture of Sherlock to have as my main image, however a problem occurred in that it was not the same size as the magazine format, so would involve creating extra image around using the paint and blur tools.
I felt that finding a suitable and similar font was the most difficult task in recreating the magazine cover. Using photoshop, I felt that the font 'Narkisim' was the best for the cover lines and 'Angsana New' matched the title at the bottom of the magazine the best. Stretching the font to match the magazine cover lines, and sizing the font was also difficult, and I feel that if I repeated this task I would re-attmept this. When creating my own magazine front cover for my production I believe the use of font will be crucial, and must be suited to the thriller genre. I also had to find similar images for the films promoted at the top of the magazine cover, and also include a barcode, the date and matching cover line stories.
