2. This magazine front cover is very
stereotypical of magazine front
covers. It has the title at the top of
the page with cover stories and
subtitles around the main image.
It also has a barcode in the bottom
right corner which follows
conventions of other magazines as
well as having a bubble to offer
more to the audience.
3. The title is very large and clear
although it is not fully seen.
However the magazine is well
known therefore it is easily
recognisable. The main image is
also large and takes up the
majority of the page with the
name of the article in bold
underneath, this will allow the
audience to make a connection
between the two. The magazine
appears to be very masculine,
using a male holding a hammer as
the main image and having the
dark blues and black as the main
colours. The cover lines may also
interest males more as words like
‘monsters’ and ‘speed’ are used
which could relate to something
like cars.
4. This magazine also has the title at the
top of the page, although it does have
some of the title within the title to
make it unique from other front
covers. It also has a banner at the top
of what the magazine includes rather
than at the bottom where most
magazines have it. The main image is
central and takes up the majority of
the front cover following conventions
of magazines. The barcode however
on this one is shown in the middle on
the right hand side whereas other
magazines often place them in the
corners, so that the audience are not
drawn to them as easily.
5. The magazine title is bold, clear
and easy to read like many
magazines. The articles and
cover stories are presented
either side of the picture,
allowing the audience to read
them but ensuring that the
main image can still be seen
and is not covered by text. This
magazine front cover differs
from others as the title for the
main image is extremely small
compare to other main titles
which are usually written in a
large bold font to draw the
attention of the audience.
6. This film poster is very
minimalistic yet effective. The
main image covers the entire
page and is eye catching. The
title is placed at the top of the
page, stretching right across in
a bold yet clear font. The
release date is at the bottom in
the centre, so it catches the eye
of the audience after they have
read the title. Brief institutional
information is underneath in a
much smaller font so that it is
the last thing that strikes the
audience on the page.
7. This poster has the tagline of the
film at the top of the page, which
makes it seem related to the main
image that is shown allowing the
audience to relate the two. The
title of the film is in the bottom
3rd, linking positively with the rule
of thirds. The name of the main
actors/actresses are placed above
the title in a smaller font so that
the audience are aware of who
they are. ‘Inspired by true events’
adds an eerie feel to the film in
which the audience may be drawn
in to watch the film. Institutional
information is then placed
underneath in a much smaller
font as this is what the audience
are less interested in.
8. This poster is also very
simplistic, it has an effective
detailed main image which
is key to drawing the
attention of the audience.
The title ‘ Avenger’ is
written across his chest,
with the main character
looking down at it as if his
name badge to say that is
who he is. The release date
is in the lower 3rd of the
screen, with only the
website of the film
underneath, this allows the
audience to not be filled
with information that they
do not need/want.
