Basic Layout Design
A basic layout design of magazine cover, they acquire certain specs. Such as this Empire cover has a blue background and it links with the characters next to young Xavier and also because it is X-Men First Class they changed the X-Men emblem from silver to blue so that it links with the 2 characters next to Charles Xavier. Some covers at the bottom have a strip at the bottom. There will always be at release date, price and some times an issue number. As well as the magazine name there will be a sub heading depending on the film that is on the cover. There will also be a barcode. On this magazine they keep within colours on the titles and sub headings, on this magazine they keep it white and yellow because if there is too many colours it would be to in your face. There is no competition on this issue but there would normally be one. On this issue as well it tells you that there is another edition of this magazine with a different colour so that people who collect them can collect the other cover.

Ideas Work (Magazine Cover)
In this idea the main focus is on the the left hand side. With the main focus head being over the I of 'FILM'. A competition at the top and the the issue date and price both above the title. The barcode is at the bottom left of the magazine cover. Below the title there is a circle which will have '30 Must See Films of 2013'. Then next to that there will be a list of main interviews that will appear in this issue. At the bottom of the page there is a PLUS! with bullet points e.g. James Franco speaks about OZ The Great and Powerful.
In this this idea the main focus will be on the right hand side instead and the head of the main focus will go in between the 'E' and the 'W'. The competition and issue date and price is above the title. The circle will be next to the main focus and it will have in it '50 Reviews Inside This Issue'. The barcode will be at the bottom right hand side. On the opposite side of the barcode there will be a box with PLUS! in it and below it some stories that will be in the issue of the magazine e.g. Is Stallone Back To His Best. Above that there will be a short list of 'ACTION FILMS OF 2013' the list will contain Iron Man 3, Thor 2: The Dark World, A Bullet To The Head, The Last Stand etc.

Completed DVD Sleeve
This is my completed DVD sleeve. It is like any other DVD sleeve it has on the front of it a main focus which is the main character, the title which is big a clear, it has a tagline, the stars of the film at the top of the sleeve and at the bottom there is bbfc rating and the DVD logo. On the spine of the DVD sleeve there is the title of the film like most DVD sleeves and the bbfc rating and the DVD logo. Then on the back there is a synopsis which most DVD sleeves have so for people who haven't seen it can read it and get the feel for the film, there is screenshots of other scenes in the film, a special features bar, a credit bar for telling people who produced the film and directed it etc, it has an information bar as well so people can know what region the DVD is and how long it is on for etc. It has a barcode which a DVD needs so that it can be bought and then it has the company who made the film and the bbfc rating and DVD logo.

I then added a black background because I wanted the back to be black.

I then added then same background as I used in the film poster and changed it from landscape to portrait.

I then added in the main focus of the DVD sleeve I put the image in the middle so that it is more noticeable on the poster it was on the left hand side.

I then added in the title on the spine because most DVD sleeves have the title on the spine.

Next I added in the tagline under the title, originally I put it over the main focus image but it didn't stand out so I moved the position of it.

I added the stars of the films at the top of the DVD sleeve, but originally it was the same font as the title and it didn't stand out, so I changed the font and added a drop shadow.

I added a bbfc rating on the front, back and on the spine of the DVD sleeve.

I added the DVD logo on the front, back and spine of the DVD sleeve.

I added a barcode because all DVD sleeves need a barcode.

I added the logo of the company of who produced the film in this case it is 'Lionsgate'.
I then added a credit bar it includes the companies involved, the actors, producer, director, make up, music and fashion.

I added a synopsis because this gives a short brief story of what is going to happen during the film.
I then added a couple of screenshots of other things that happen during the film.
And lastly I added a special features bar including deleted scenes, audio commentary and behind the scenes. Most DVDs have special features so I added it so that it looked like a proper DVD cover.
