Film Magazines

I found some film magazines and have explained what I like about each of them.

Empire Magazine
I really like this front cover as the image is very striking. The use of editing within this image has created an action packed front cover, introducing us to all of the stars in the film. Most people are attracted to a film when a star that they like plays in it. I also like the use of the film strip at the bottom of the cover which features what will be in the magazine. This is a very clever way to keep in with the theme of movies and to make the cover more exciting. I may take this idea and use it in my own magazine.

SFX magazine
I think that this particular cover of SFX is good. The title of the film is bold and glowing, which is instantly charming for the reader. I like the colour use, yellow and blue really stand out with eachother and it fits in with the genre of the movie (sci-fi). I will use this idea in my own magazine cover, choosing colours to fit the genre so that the audience can immediately work out which genre of film the magazine mainly features.
