Analysis magazine covers

Hello fellow internet users.

In my blog I am going to be analysing two different magazine covers.

For my first magazine cover I have chosen Empire. In this type of magazine cover you can see that the main focus is in the centre right of the page. It shows a picture of the character Harry Potter with cuts and bruises on his face, this shows the audience that in the next Harry Potter film Harry Potter will be fighting to his death once again.

The main title of this magazine cover is in large red bold writing the type face looks as if it is mirroring the empire state building itself.

In the bottom, left corner you can see I picture of the Wolverine which looks like a scene from the film. On the other corner there is a barcode. This shows you that the reception of this magazine cover is found in supermarkets.

There is text on either side of the main picture telling the audience about the different films that you could read about in the magazine. It also highlights and stars the main film, it also shows you what page you can find the film on. This gives the impact that this film is the magazines best feature and that this magazine will be showing more about Harry Potter than another film.

For my second magazine cover I have chosen Total film This type of magazine cover it is similar to the Empire magazine as the main focus on this magazine is the character Sherlock Holmes. I large writing it shows you the name of the main film that it is showing on this cover. It also shows you in smaller writing underneath the film title a tagline for the movie.

At the very top of the magazine cover it tells you that there are the 10 coolest movies that are being made right now. in the magazine cover Empire it also tells you that they have a massive preview special for the 14 new movie that you need to know about. These two magazine covers are very similar as they have all the same features apart from the title of the magazine cover.

The main title for this magazine cover is in bold capital letters that is placed behind the main picture, where as on the Empire cover the title is placed over the main picture.

This magazine cover have text on either side of its main picture which tells you about the extra, sneaky and the basters that you are able to find when looking inside this magazine.
