I researched film magazines to help me produce my very own film magazine front cover for my thriller film. I needed to gather together the codes and conventions of what makes a magazine front cover work.
When viewing the magazine front covers you can clearly see that the image and text is the eye catching focusing in which the audience will pay most attention to. The images are large illustrating power and positioned in the middle vertical of the page. The tile of the magazine stands out from the background colour but not taking away the selling point of the magazine which is the image. Colours used for the title are either black, red or white; these colours are very noticable and strong, the colours used control the meaning behind the text.
