movie magazine cover analysis

The first thing that stands out to me is that the colours are always consistant and compliment eachother but still stand out well. the colours often relate in a way to the film themes, like the suckerpunch cover uses orange, to show heat (sexy, fighting etc) Sherlock Holmes has been used with a pale blue to show mystery and avatar, of course, used bright blue because the creatures are blue

.

 The main feature is very central and the fonts are consistant. each of them have a coverline above the magazine title which works well. the simple fonts are vital so that anything different can stand out much more. its also easier to have varying sizes of a simple font as it will look good big or small.

the main image is always overlaying on the masthead, this shows that they are important and stand out. The protagonist is always central to show their importance. I will bare this in mind when putting my cover together.

 puffs are subtle but still do their job because they differ to the simple font, meaning they stand out simply..

I will apply all these features to my movie magazine.
