MAGAZINE BRAIN STORM
BY GAYNOR DOBSON

These will help me get a good idea of
what I want my magazine’s front cover
to look like. So I looked for horror
magazines since my magazine is about
horror characters called creepy-pasta

These will help me get a good idea of what
I want my magazine’s double page spread
to look like to give me a good
understanding about what a horror double
page spread looks like

Flat plane of my front cover and double page spread

Name of creepy pasta + AURTHER
1. Slanderman by Anonymous
2. Hoodie by marble hornets
3. Sally by Shilo rose/ la-mishi-mish
4. Ticci Toby by Kastoway

I am going to go eyeless jack as my dominate image on my front cover and I am getting my friend joseph to dress up as eyeless
jack this is going to be my primary photo. Eyeless jack appearance is a masculine, humanoid figure dressed in an all black
hoodie and dark jeans. He dons a deep blue mask with large, black, empty eye sockets, with a strange liquid substance trickling
down from the mask.
for the double page spread is going to be about eyeless jack’s back story and who made him
The target audience is going to be for 16 to 29 this is because the magazine is going to be about people going round killing
people its also about why they do what they do and how they ended up like this so this magazine is not for the faint of hearted
The social grade would C1 C2 and D and the psychographics grade would be for explorers people who like to look for
something different and likes the thrill of not knowing
On my front cover I am gong to eyeless jack as my dominate image with 4 sub images along with the sub sell lines the 4
images/sell lines are Lulu, Clockwork, Ticci Toby and Hoodie these are all creepy-pastas each image/sell lines are going to have
a different font and colour these are going to match the characters personality. I am going to put blood splatters all over the
front cover to show that the magazine is about horrors I have put the bar code down in the bottom left corner and I have put
the essential information in the blood splatter at the top right corner
I am also going to make my magazine digital and I am going to put YouTube links in it, make the pages turn able and make it
able to zoom in/out and then make the pages scrollable

Story of sally
Sally was a young happy 12-year-old girl living with her parents in a small town. One day, Sally's uncle, Johnny, came to her
home and befriended Sally at first. After tucking Sally in bed, Johnny raped Sally and told her not to tell anyone what he
did since it was only a "game".
Sally stayed quiet about this as this sexual abuse went on, and one day, when Sally's mother and Sally were alone, Sally
bursts into tears and tries to tell her mother what happened by saying, "I didn't want to play his game." Her mother didn't
understand and just excused her crying as a bad dream.
Johnny then overheard Sally's mother telling Sally's father about what Sally had just told her. Burning with rage, Johnny
then told Sally's mother that he was heading to the store and was taking Sally with him since he lied and said Sally wanted
to go too.
Johnny with Sally in his car then traveled to the park instead of the market. He pinned Sally to the ground, beats her up,
and raped her again before smashing her head with a rock killing her and leaving her dead on the grass. Sally came back as
a poltergeist, and after scaring her uncle to death in his jail cell, she stays back in her old house, playing with the kids and
scaring the older people.

Story of eyeless jack
In the original story, a man named Mitch moves in with his brother Edwin after his house is foreclosed. A week later, Mitch
wakes up with a large gash on his cheek. After going to the hospital, the doctor reveals that Mitch's left kidney had been
surgically removed overnight.
Around midnight that night, Mitch wakes to see Eyeless Jack over his bed, wearing a blue mask with black liquid dripping
from empty eye sockets behind the mask. Mitch manages to grab his camera and take a picture before Jack attacks, clawing
at his chest. Mitch escapes and flees into the woods, where he trips and is knocked unconscious.
When Mitch awakens in the hospital, it is revealed to him that Edwin had been killed the previous night. His parents drive
him to the house to collect his belongings. When he enters, Mitch sees Edwin's corpse and a small object lying next to it. He
observes it find that it is his kidney with a bite taken out of it, covered in a black substance.

Story of Ticci Toby
Toby wasn't always a normal kid. He grew up with many different mental disorders, making it hard for him to fit in with the
'normal crowd', along with a disease that attacked his nervous system, causing him to be completely numb to pain, and an
extreme case of Tourette's syndrome. Which causes Toby to make uncontrollable jerks, 'tics', and other abrupt movements,
and is most recognized for cracking his neck uncontrollably. Earning him the demeaning nickname 'Ticci-Toby' from his peers.
Toby used to attend public school up until the point he could no longer handle the severe teasing and bullying, and so he
was then transferred to homeschooling early on.
He grew up with little - to almost no friends. He lived with his mother, his older sister, Lyra, and his father who later lost
himself to drugs, alcohol, and gambling and became abusive towards his family. When Toby was 17 years old his sister and
he were involved in a tragic car accident, resulting in Lyra's death. After that Toby grew even more troubled, his symptoms
worsening, barely eating, not leaving his bedroom, and growing less and less social. He began to lose some fragments of
memory, start seeing hallucinations of his sister's twisted and mutilated corpse, and see a strange figure, standing outside of
his bedroom window at night. He would take out his stress and anxiety by chewing the flesh from his fingers. His mother was
worried about the state Toby was in and had decided to get into contact with a psychiatrist to help with, but it didn't work.
Toby soon lost all control of his sanity and one night attacked and killed his father, and then fled out of the house. Grabbing
two of the hatchets from his father's garage, a box of matches, and a gallon of gasoline, he proceeded to set the
neighborhood on fire in an attempt to escape from the police. The fire surrounded him and as he was about to give in to his
own death, Slenderman appeared and saved him before he blacked out. When Toby woke up, he has no recollection of what
happened and all of his memories of his previous life are erased.
Approximately two weeks later, after Toby's disappearance, Toby's mother listens to a news story about the murders of
several teenagers. The main suspect is Toby due to one of his hatchet's being found at the crime scene. This marks the
moment Toby had officially become one of the Slender Man's Proxies.

Story of Lulu
Lucy was born of a Vietnamese woman and a Caucasian male. She had a love for books just like her parents and spent
most of her childhood listening to stories her mother would read to her. Eventually her mother had fallen ill from cancer
and died leaving Lucy with her father. She was very depressed and spent most of her young age consumed in the fantasy
world of her father's library. When she turned fourteen her father was worried about her distant attitude and her cold
nature. In hopes of bringing light back to his daughter he decided in enrolling her in a private academy for girls so she
can work on her social skills around other females.
Lucy didn't enjoy her time there at all. She had a more developed body than average girls her age in a time where
developed bodies were the sight of ridicule. She did get some backlash from students there but she remained unfazed
for the most part. Eventually the girl conducting the bully ring, named Julia, became obsessed with Lucy. The fact that
Lucy wouldn't break no matter how many kids would hit her and make fun of her. Julia wanted nothing more than to see
Lucy fall off her high horse.
The obsession soon grew ridiculously unhealthy and she wound up drugging Lucy. She figured the only way she hadn't
tried breaking her was sexually so she had to give it a try. Despite Lucy trying her hardest to keep herself being taken
advantage of by Julia was the last straw. She ran from the school to the nearby woods. There she met a man who
promised to make it all stop. To give her the vision she desired to understand. In her weak state she accepted the offer
just so it all would stop. Unfortunately as the fog consumed her, her eyes were taken and replaced with an undying urge
to remove the vision of others.
Lucy's escape only trapped her in a never ending loop of her own torment and trying to recapture her own eyes. Though
years had passed she did find solace in two people just as sad as her. Alex and Rodger (her adoptive brothers) had taken
her into a home and fixed her up when they found her beaten and bloody from a human who escaped her grasp. Their
relationship was rocky at first but as time went on she found they understood being trapped more than anyone.

Story clock work
Natalie was once a normal, unassuming teenage girl, who came from a broken family. Her nature started to change drastically when her family started
verbally and physically abusing her (the age of which the abuse began to happen is unknown, although many agree that she was first abused when she
was very young); Natalie was unable to tell anyone at the time. The only true person she felt safe with was her older brother, Lucas. That was until she was
sexually abused by him more than once for a period of four years.
During her abuse, she tries to talk to a girl in her class about it, but Mia sabotages Natalie and spills her secret, prompting online and real-life harassment
during her elementary-school years. When Natalie was sixteen, things take a turn for the worst. Natalie's boyfriend, Chris, asks her to talk to him after her
classes. He admits to her that he wishes to break up and see other people, citing her macabre art and her negative mindset, as well as her not telling Chris
why she feels so negative. She returns home, goes to into bathroom, and with her mindset was seemingly even more negative than before and after
keeping everything bottled-up for too long, Natalie had finally snapped inside. She self-harms herself by sewing the corners of her mouth into a smile with
black thread and stitches.
Her mother finds her doing this and decides to schedule some therapy for her. With her visit to the therapist, Natalie explains that time has been her
biggest problem and that she wholly believes that time, and the concept of it, was against her, and was the reason which led to her abuse. After trying to
get psychological help, she got sent to a doctor for some 'mental drugs' that would hopefully improve her mental state. He says that she'll be back to
normal in no time, then slips an anesthesia mask on her as he performs surgery.
Things went horribly wrong, during the surgery Natalie regained consciousness, and she was able to respond and move about. She then momentarily
passes out after coughing blood for an unknown reason. She then wakes up again, and the doctor from earlier informs her that she was never supposed to
wake up and that her appearance had also changed from the botched surgery. Natalie looks into a mirror and quickly notices that her once-hazel eyes had
completely changed to a vibrant green. However, Natalie was surprisingly happy with her ‘new look’. After she had gone completely insane, she kills the
doctor, along with two security guards, and escapes from the hospital.
Natalie returns back home through a thunderstorm and kills her mother, father, and lastly her brother. After the murder of her family, she walks into the
bathroom, then suddenly spots her father’s old pocket watch on the rim of the sink, and listens to the faint ticking for what seems like an eternity, she
dissembles it, so that only the face-off of the watch remained. She repeats what she had told the therapist about time while removing her left eye and
dropping it into the sink. She then forces the small clock into her eye socket until it 'fits perfectly' and refers to herself “Clockwork”.
Clockwork then walks away from her house as it burns to the ground, along with her family. Now she lives on, carrying her insanity with her and leaving so
many dead. Saying that she is the one who determines when their time should come to an end.

Story of the rake
The Rake originated on 4chan's /b/ board in late 2005. A thread was started by an anonymous user, who stated "Hey /b/ lets make a new
monster!" Naturally, there were many ideas, but one stood out, and another user created a new thread based on this idea. The thread started with this
post: "Alright, this is for the people who like the three-eyes, no apparent mouth, pale skin one. Here's what we've got so far: Humanoid, about six feet
tall when standing, but usually crouches and walks on all fours. It has very pale skin. The face is blank. As in, no nose, no mouth. However, it has three
solid green eyes, one in the middle of its forehead, and the other two on either side of its head, towards the back. Usually seen in front yards in suburban
areas. Usually just watches the observer, but will stand up and attack if approached. When it attacks, a mouth opens up, as if a hinged skull that opens at
the chin. Reveals many tiny, but dull teeth."
The creature eventually formed into what we now know as 'The Rake'.
The Rake went through many design and name changes during its beginning. One of the more prevalent names was "Operation Crawler". Below are a
couple of the "checkpoints" from the thread where it originated, which were the following:
6 feet tall is good humanoid pale greyish skin 2 large eyes on the front of the head because of trips >>14832777 and nature no nose mouth that is slightly
visable, then opens on a hinge hundreds of dull but not blunt teeth eats meat genitals don’t matter because no interviews really talk about that seen in
suburban areas minding its own business attacks when approached but mostly just stares at people looks human enough to be able to disguise with
fedora and trench coat or similar
revised again,
Approximately 6' tall, but seen crouching Humanoid Pale, greyish skin 2 slightly larger than human eyes No nose Mouth that is smaller than human, but
when provoked or attacked, opens freely on a hinge down to the neckline, showing hundreds of dull, but not blunt teeth Unknown origin Unknown Diet
Seen in suburban areas Opens it's mouth and widens its eyes when provoked, attacks when approached If not provoked or approached, just stares
The first and most well-known story about The Rake was posted to the personal blog of Something Awful user Brian Somerville on July 20th, 2006. It was
the first story in a series entitled "Horror Theater," but Somerville does not indicate if the text was taken from another website or if it was written
specifically for that blog post. According to the mythology, firsthand accounts of The Rake has been described as early as in the 12th century and
documented for the first time in 1691. The story also alleges that strange events in the northeastern U.S. involving the creature led to brief local media
interest in the summer of 2003, but most written accounts of the creature have been mysteriously destroyed since.

Story of zero
Alice was a sweet, smart girl, but didn't have many friends. So she created some "friends" of her own. They
were imaginary, but they were real to her. She started naming them after numbers, and the first friend was
named Zero. After a while, she started forgetting about Zero as she didn't need her anymore. One day, her
parents died in a horrible car accident and she watched it all happen. She was later adopted by her next-door
neighbor, Mr. Rogers. The minute she entered his house, he started beating her and making her do everything
for him. She did manual labor just to keep him from horribly beating her time after time.
Years passed by, and she started getting used to being bullied by many people. She was constantly questioned
about the black eyes she was always getting, but never said anything. Later on, she was walking down the
stairs of the school before someone pushed her down violently. She had enough of this and snapped. She
yelled and screamed before getting him down on the floor followed by a very savage beating.
She broke his arm, punched his stomach forcing him to cough up blood, and much other stuff. When someone
yelled out "STOP!" she then realized what she had done, and ran back home. All she could think about was
why she snapped. She couldn't come up with a good reason. She never snapped at all. She got expelled after
what happened, but she started not talking, eating, or coming out of her room. Suddenly, a voice came out of
her mouth, but it wasn't her voice, it was someone else. All that voice said was, "We're best friends, forever,"
After another beating, she passed out. When she awoke, the news was talking about a man who was found
dead with a lot of bruises and cuts on him. Then, the voice came back to her and, this time, made her pass out.
When she awoke (again) her looks have changed. Her skin and hair were white, and her eyes were covered
with black circles. Her voice wasn't Alice anymore, it was Zero's voice. Alice was now gone, and Zero is now
free. After what happened, Zero murdered everyone who knew Alice and escaped into the woods.

page to the left of the bottom of the page where the bar code used to be I also move the text “no where you can hide” to the
middle of the page at the bottom, I also move the masthead over a bit so you can see more clearly

Magazine log of double page spread
To make my double page spread I went on the internet to find a image of an abandoned room and made that the background
image http://herbalkecantikan.info/scary-bedroom/

I then went and got an image off the internet of eyeless jack from this website
https://makingthecrossover.fandom.com/wiki/Creepypasta_the_Fighters/Eyeless_Jack

I then used the magnetic lasso to go around eyeless jack then copied and pasted the image so I had eyeless jack on his own with
no background

I then made eyeless jack smaller and put him near the door so he looks like he has just walked in to the room

I then used the lasso tool to put a box around the part of the wall where eyeless jack is standing then I copied and pasted that
part of the wall then put it over the top of eyeless jack but you are still able to see part of him so it looks like he is looking at you
from round the corner

I then got another image of the the internet but this one is of the rake and I got him of this website
https://creepypastafiles.fandom.com/wiki/The_Rake I the made him smaller and placed him under the chair

I then used the magnetic lasso to go around The Rake then copied and pasted the image so I had eyeless jack on his own with no
background

I then moved The Rake little to the left then used the lasso tool to put a box around the part of the chair then I copied and pasted
that part of the chair then put it over the top of The Rake’s leg so he looks like he is under the chair

I then went to to shape tool and got a square and created a red box

I then put used the text tool and put the words primary photo in it

I then got another red box and put the word running head on it

I then got another 2 red box and put the word body copy and drop cap on it I also made a red line down the middle of the page
to split the page

I then got another red box and put the word failo on it and put it at the bottom of the page

I then got another 2 red box and put the body copy the bigger one and pull quote on the smaller one

I then got another 2 red box and put the words sub image on them then I copied and pasted them on it so that there are
another 2 box s that’s look the same

I deleted the words body copy and the words drop cap and replaced them with the title ‘Eyeless jack’s backstory’ and put but a
light blue

I then put drop cap in red in the box below the title

I then put Eyeless jack’s backstory

I then put the title ‘Eyeless jack’s appearance’ and I put this title light blue

I put a description of what Eyeless jack look like

I then put information about jack’s powers and what his personality is like I also moved to texts around a bit and added a bit
more information about Jack’s backstory I also decided to get rid of the boxes around the text and changed to the brightness of
the background a little bit so I could see the texts better I like this layout better as it looks more professional

I put a running head on also give credit to where I got all the information from at the bottom of each page and put a page
number with it I also put a sub image on it. In the the box that says sub image I am going to put a gif of eyeless jack there

I thought that my double spread looked a little bland so I added another creepypasta image but this one is of Sally she is a little
girl wearing pink nighty holding a brown teddy bear and with blood coming down her face past her eyes and I put her in the
corner of the room and be hide the main text box this is where I got the image from https://www.wattpad.com/511044240-
creepypasta-rp-sally

I then put another image in the background to add more detail to the page this image is of Lulu on the floor next to the chair
where the rake is hiding

These are my primary photos I took, I took multiple photos so then I had more then one photo to choose from to see which
ones worked well
I decided to use the mid shot of eyeless
jack hovering over the bed. I chose this
one because it is dark and it makes you
feel like your there yourself and I made it
all grainy on purpose because I wanted to
make look like your in the dark looking at
this random creepy person and when your
in the dark you don’t see this every well.
So I did this to I can get as close as possible
to what it would be like if you just woke up
to see this

I have started to make another darft of my magazine front cover I used a similar layout to the first draft buy the background
colour is a different colour cause this time is made the background black and red and I used to same characters and the same
masthead and same sub headings and same font colour but different fonts, different images of the characters and put knives in
the background to show that this magazine is about horror
The web links are where I got the images form:
Eyeless Jack: https://www.facebook.com/eyelessjackth
Lulu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzwMtJaE8p0
Clockwork: https://www.pinterest.cl/pin/636063147344157390/

Hoodie: https://www.planetminecraft.com/skin/hoodie-creepypasta-3297508/
Knives: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bloody-Novelty-Weapons-Costumes-Accessory/dp/B0042KOEGA
This is what the front cover has turned out to be:

This is what the front cover looks like bigger

Before front cover After front cover
The front cover that I did used to look like this
before I made a few changes
I then decided to put some blood splatters on the front cover to
make it really look like a horror magazine and put the sentence
”no where to hide” at the bottom

Before double page spread After double page spread
This is what I wanted my double page to look like at
first I couldn’t fit all the information I wanted in so I
changed it
I couldn’t fit all the information I wanted in so I move the text
for jack’s appearance up and put it next to the primary photo
and made the text box for jacks back story bigger to get all the
information I wanted in and this is what it looked like at the
end
