Analysing Magazine covers - Magazine Cover 1

Magazine cover 1



This is a film magazine that advertises a new film called 'Sherlock Holmes'. I based the format of the magazine cover i made on this magazine. I got the title for my cover from it, but changed the font so it was slightly thinner to make sure i didn't copy it completely. The purpose of this magazine is too advertise the new 'Sherlock Holmes'. Even though on this front page it is advertising the latest film being brought to cinema, by advertising even more even films on the front cover, will attract more people to buy the magazine so they can read reviews on the latest films, and any relevant information
about a film they have seen, or planning to watch.
The main colours used in this magazine are blue, white and black, and The main bold font is blue, and any . To keep the same format for my cover, i used the colours black red and white as my main colours, to fit the theme of the magazine and the film i was advertising.
The image of the actor is in the centre of the magazine, i took this idea and used the photograph of my brother and put in the centre of my cover. However the genre of film i am advertising is a supernatural horror, so i used a gradient effect to make it look it bit more scary.
By advertising Sherlock Holmes on the front of the film magazine tells the readers that this film is 'the one to see' before they even plan to watch it.
