Drafting and Planning Love Note Poster and Magazine Cover changes

After taking the photo's, I followed my plan to slice each photo and layer them on top of one another so to separate each time period.

Inspired by the poster for Silver Linings Playbook, instead of the poster being in colour I changed it to grey scale. I found that the coloured version was very distracting and difficult to add extra information whilst making it legible. 

So the black and white reflects on the idea of right and wrong (how the notebook can be used for selfless and selfish reasons), it keeps the poster consistent but the clothes make the distinction of the time period and it give another more mysterious side to the story. 

Due to this colour change it also changes the target audience slightly; making it less of a young, childish, teenage school rom-com into a whimsical, mature and unique film which may attract an older target audience.

Here is the final version of the Love Note film poster.

The poster is no longer completely grey scale as the hands (and notebook) are kept to their natural colours. This is done so to draw attention to what the hands are signifying. In this case they are expressing love:

• The first picture has the girl fiddling with her hair in a flirtatious way.
• The second has the boy placing his hand on his heart which signifies love for others, or in the time period, for his country.
• The third has the girl lightly fiddling with her bracelet demonstrating a shyer, subtle side to love.
• And the forth image highlights the significant object of the story which is the notebook. Placing the notebook with the other signals of love makes writing in this book an act of love in itself. The type of love- whether it's selfish or selfless- is down to the audience.

The Love Note logo now has a brown border which contrasts well with the notebooks colours and keeps a natural, light feel to the poster with the support of the pastel pink. I used pink instead of red because the story is not a serious love story, it's very light hearted and quirky which doesn't quite highlight the dangers of love.

I also made links with each section in the poster such as the pen touches both the forth and the third image, and the hair touches the first and the second image. This connects each section, each time zone as they all have something in common and that is the notebook.

The bottom of the poster has the credits and social network sites which keeps the modern image and the young target audience the film attracts.

This is the final version of my Empire magazine.

I made various changes including extra cover lines, a pug featuring extra content in the magazine and re-wording some of the cover lines.
