Here is the Double page spread and magazine front cover that i have done as a 1st draft. I have had feedback on the 2 pieces on how to improve them both.
I have been told that the front cover looks a bit more like a book cover rather than a magazine cover. I'm allowed to get a picture of the earth and a barcode from google images apparently which would help it to look a bit more professional. It would be a good idea to include a picture of 'the enlightened,' which was attempted on the double page spread in the attempt at a silhouette since that is how we would see them in the movie.
On the double page spread, the piece at the center with the silhouette and the triangular shape could be reduced in size and the background could also be made white with the black text on top of it, but this would sort of ruin the 'space' effect background so shrinking the triangular shape would be the better option. I could also include more 'nods' toward the name of the magazine throughout the magazine and also could change the font type itself to relate to the review more.
