The document analyzes the design techniques used on two film magazine covers. The Empire magazine cover uses a large central photograph that takes up the entire front page with text overlapping the image. The bold title emphasizes the magazine name and the color scheme complements the photo while remaining easy to read. Additional text and images wrap around the main feature photo without interrupting it. The Total Film cover also uses a large central character photo facing the camera to engage the viewer. The document concludes that these techniques create powerful magazine covers that invite viewing and reading.
