Vertigo magazine mock-up

Here's my attempt at a quick fake Vertigo, featuring my film. I left off the red box at the bottom though... I like my magazine covers minimalist, haha.

To make this, I just took the Vertigo masthead/logo from a black cover, inverted the colours to make it black on white instead, then created my own upside down 'i' to put over the top, keeping with usual Vertigo theme for consistencys sake.

I've decided to leave off the bottom box with the straps lines in because I think a bare cover is more effective if trying to promote a thriller - this way there's nothing to steal attention away from my film (and I mean that as modestly as possible, realise, haha). Similarly, Vertigo doesn't have barcodes or any of that other clutter you usually see on magazine, which I think allows for a more artisitic and almost genuine look... I hate the idea of every magazine being stamped in the same way, mindlessly, I love that Vertigo seems much more individual and much less corporate. Hopefully, this is in keepign with my film, which I doubt would be taken on by a studio, aha.

Additionally, I'm probably going to go with this teaser poster...

So, in a way, the magazine acts as the other half to the poster? See it? Hopefully, this will come across like a marketing/viral(ish) campaign where the audience is drip-fed little bits of the film one step at a time... Assuming, the poster and magazine cover would appear first, and then the trailer. Also, I've kept the typeface consistent from poster to trailer to kinda help this along.
