The document discusses the front cover designs of various film magazines, specifically Fangoria, Total Film, and Empire. It notes that Fangoria's cover design is more unconventional, with few sell lines arranged like a film reel and small text to draw attention to the central horror image. Total Film and Empire generally have more traditional layouts with many sell lines, though Empire occasionally adapts for major film releases by removing sell lines. The document also analyzes variations in masthead designs used to reflect the themes of featured films.
