Magazine front cover analysis

Examples

















































Contents

Pictures:
All of the magazine covers have a picture of the main feature film. The film tends to dominate the front cover. Also the pictures are not clips from the film but look specifically shot for the purpose of the agazine.

Text:
The title is usually at the top of the page and in a large font. The font and colour of the text is   usually determined by the main feature photo. There are also smaller informative pieces of text which give you details of what you can find in this edition of the magazine.

Price:
On the front of most of the magazines the barcode and price are positioned near an edge out of the way of the centre piece.

Colour Scheme:
Most of the magazines tend to follow a  colour scheme related to the movie which that particular edition of the magazines is focused on. For example up above is an edition of Empire magazine which focuses on iron man 2. The iron colours in the iron man picture are used in the text for most of the other text on the front cover.
