Magazine Front Cover - Conventions

3. After taking a look into the different conventions that are used for Magazine Front
Covers there are many different conventions that I think we should use for Crooks
Magazine Front Cover. For example I think that we should take some high quality
photos of The Gripwell Killer and Detective George Foster, these images would
then be positioned in the middle of the front cover. On the other hand, we will be
using the slogan for our film on the Magazine Front Cover which is ‘This time it’s
personal’ which I think is a good slogan for our film and should be used as a
marketing tool for our film. In addition to this, I also think that directly addressing
the audience would add a lot to our Magazine Front Cover, this would entice the
audience to read the Magazine which is the main purpose of a Magazine Front
Cover.
