The front and back cover both use the same
colour connotations to highlight the genre of the
film they are advertising. For example, the ‘Joker’
character’s well known for contrasting with the
colour green, which is why a lot of the text on the
front cover is green, so fans of the Joker will be
able to recognise who the magazine is talking
about, as well as having the Joker character being
the main focus of both covers.
Both the covers also reach
their audience with the main
actor as well as the main
character on both covers, so
they are easily recognisable
and it makes it easier to
determine the genre of the
film with the main character
as the main image.

The main image
chosen for the front
cover attracts its
audience by
showing a well
know character in a
popular TV show, so
fans of the show
will be able to
recognise the genre
and who the
character is, as well
as understanding
what the magazine
is going to be about.
The company is very well
known in this magazine, which
will definitely attract a big
audience of people who already
read ‘Entertainment Weekly’.

The cover for this magazine heavily highlights the genre. The
main character is shown wearing old / mythological armor, which
highlights that this magazine is focusing on a sci-fi / action movie
genre, as well as the dark, de-saturated colour tone which
highlights the war and violence theme. The gold font also
highlights the power that the main character in the image has, as
well as highlighting the time period when the film takes place
when there was a lot of different ‘god like’ figures.

5. Research Analysis
• What common features do the researched
products have?
– All of these products feature one main character / actor in the middle
of the cover to gain the attentions of fans of the specific genre. They
also use colours patterns and lighting to convey the genre and the
style of film. All of the covers are very captivating, and use images that
grab the viewers attention.
• What aspects of the research will you include
within your on work?
– I will include one main image as the focus point of my front cover, and
also use different text styles and colour tones that highlight the genre
of the film I am going to be talking about in my magazine.
