Other mag covers

I decide to look at other mag covers for inspiration and to find main conventions of posters.

 



This is a cover for the magazine Empire, a well known American movie magazine. The colour red is used to catch the audience's eyes. Red also implies danger connoting that this magazine is full of dangerous information, this would be a selling technique because the audience would rebellious buying it. A convention of Posters is to always make sure that the Master head is at the top large and clearly visible which can be seen on this Empire cover.

The next magazine cover is for Total Film.  They use a image of Megan Fox as star power and eye candy since she's classified to be attractive this meaning that the male audience would be attracted to the magazine. Magazine front covers always over emphasises everything so that they catch the audience's attention,  this can be seen in both magazines for example Total film uses the phrase "OUR BIGGEST PREVIEW EVER!" and Empire uses "MASSIVE PREWVIEW SPECIAL" this is used as a way to grab the audience's attention and make sure that they are intrigued.

Poster's use various fonts and colours this is done so that they show variety and separation between articles. Its a very useful way to make it easier for the audience to use the magazine, this also can be another selling technique since its simplifies the advances usages of the magazine.
