Film Magazine Research 2

 

The main image of this film magazine is a well-known character from a film ;this will immediately capture the attention of the viewers who may be a fan of the film that this character is in. The Mast head is at the top of the page in big bold writing making it stand out it also has flames on it to tie in with the Hell boy theme. The Masthead in this edition of the magazine has been adapted to suit the genre of the film that has been advertised on the front of the page, the editor has added fire onto it making it unique.

      The producers of this magazine have used 3 colours keeping it simple , the colours go well with the genre of the magazine and they help each other to stand out. White on black is very eye catching; red writing on a black background also works very well. The overall colour feel is dark and Satanic fitting in with the Horror theme.

    The barcode and date don’t follow the usual conventions of a normal magazine the barcode is usually at the bottom and placed landscape and the date is usually in the top right corner, however the barcode is in the bottom left and is more portrait and the date is in the middle of the ‘M’ in the Masthead.
