03 creating media: magazine cover

 



I am going to create a magazine cover about the Smiler and Oblivion roller coaster located at Alton Towers resort in the UK.

* Both Oblivion and the smiler are connected as both have a similar theme of a secret government facility that experiments on the body and mind.

* Both roller coasters are hugely significant as one was a world's first and the other a world record breaker.

* Both of the rides themes were made to appeal to a teenage demographic with edgy themes and darker imagery as it was shown in a documentary about one of the rides developments.

* The smiler features a large mechanical structure called the Marmaliser which is built to look like a spider. This could fit well spread across a double page or for the front cover.

* Oblivion features a soundtrack that is drum and base which is a popular genre among teenagers which I could talk about.

* Both coasters feature large fanbases which I could use to help bring in some more opinions on both of them.

* Oblivion and the smiler are both very famous British roller coasters known throughout the globe from uk enthusiasts to american enthusiasts, so it would easily get attention.

*The two rides have very similar colour schemes comprising of white, black and one bold colour, in this case orange and yellow, making it easy for me to combine the two main colours onto the page.

* The two rides both have a long, lengthy development history, meaning there is more to discuss in the magazine.





                                                                     * The oblivion logo, dark and for boding

   
* The marmaliser


* The smiler logo, hypnotising and mysterious

* A small mood board of the images I may use in the magazine

    This is a great hobby as it takes you all over the UK and the world. It gives a focus for travel and a centre for a whole day's activities.
    It offers the chance to explore, challenge yourself, enjoy the company of friends and family, and in my case, develop my photography skills.
    Let me introduce you to the world of roller coasters...

  2. TITLE for either magazine or website needs to be catchy, like ROLLA COSTA
