Mainstream film magazine covers

Empire
Empire magazine front covers tend to use very vibrant colours. This entices people to buy it as it is extremely eyecatching. For many of their front covers I have found that the main image is positioned in front of the title giving the image a 3D effect. The main character is always positioned in front of the title. They tend to use superlative words such as ultimate and amazing.

Analysis of magazine layouts

The font here is extremely bold and uses a sans serif font; this creates a more dynamic effect. The word TOTAL is written within the word Film.

The white font helps the title to be visible against the other colours used in the front cover.

The slogan for Total Film magazine is the ultimate movie magazine. The word ultimate is a conventional factor of a mainstream film magazine.

The actress Penelope Cruz almost takes up the entire front cover. This implies that the magazine content focuses more on the actors rather than the actual film and therefore is more likely to include many interviews with the star.

Pleasure Cruz play on words.
