Layout

  To start a magazine, you need a selling point and creative masthead/title to appeal to your target audience. My masthead, along with overall magazine format, will be done in a comic book format to appeal to avid superhero fans, such as Clint Magazine, founded by veteran comic book editor Mark Miller who writes about every fiction topic, such as upcoming comic books. This appealed to the editor of the blog, and wrote that it can even appeal to non-Miller fans. I think this was a good idea because the magazine could bring attention to readers who are not interested in comic books. But when a magazine does a layout, people become interested.

   I feel that this kind of format will appeal to not only superhero comic readers and movie critics, but to the general audience of magazine readers because not most magazines are done in a comic book format, so a first publication, and done right, will bring new audiences and allow creative influences to be explored by other companies. An example of this is Roy Lichtenstein, whose 1960's magazines were heavily divisive for his comic-book like layouts. Ever since then, most magazines have not follow this format, and if brought back, this could allow other readers that don't subscribe to magazines to want to because this format could appeal to comic book fans or editors, who may want to see their work in a magazine layout, or similar. 

 For my movies to review will be Deadpool and Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice because these two movies are in theaters currently and one of the top 10 movies most people are talking about and going to see. Also, these two movies had controversy prior to their releases, especially Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice, because these films were attempts to establish characters onto the big screen for future movies and connections to other beloved superhero films, such as X-Men in Deadpool's case. I would like to share my own opinion on these movies on a visual, but general, analysis of the movies because one was good, while the other was... Eh. Those reviews will be the primary focus of my magazine, and why I thought the final result was good or bad on a critic view.
