magazine cover analysis - Entertainment



In this film magazine, The main photo is of two characters from the new film ‘Avatar’ This is because they are the two main attractions to this new recently weekly/monthly magazine. This lets the readers know that the main attraction in this magazine is this issue. The photo also over laps the main masthead title, this makes the photo more of the attraction as it is in the foreground and it shows to readers that people should know what this magazine is called as its not bold in front of everything instead it is displayed behind and more subtly. This makes the page look less boring. The main three colours of this magazine front cover is, blue, white and yellow. The word AVATAR is written in capital letters to draw attention to it and the word ‘exclusive’ and the word ‘secrets of’ is used to intrigue people. Underneath the headings there is additional information about what is in this article, this is to attract people to buy the magazine and read what’s inside. This is a common convention of a film magazine. This film magazine displays the date, price and issue number of magazine which is what all film magazines include and is what I need to include in my magazine. Film magazines arn’t just purely on the films it is also on the advertising and other slightly off topic information so you will sometimes find other details featured on the front covers. The title ‘entertainment’ is in bold yellow which makes it stand out more even though it is behind the picture featured.
