2. Evaluation
I think this magazine isn’t very successful in
my opinion I believe this because of the
font and colours used. I don’t think that
they should of used such a plain
background colour; Although on the other
hand it is successful as you can see the
writing and different sections of the
magazine. I believe the magazine have
done the cover in this colour as it is a social
realist film therefore showing a dull
background as it doesn’t need all the
pictures and colours like the Hollywood
movies have.
I believe this has appealed to the
audience of this magazine, who are a
social realist audience. Where as I do not
believe that it has applied to the wider
audience, as if I seen this on a shelf I
wouldn’t pick it up or be interested what
it is or what is in it.

4. Evaluation
I feel as if this magazine cover is a successful
front cover as it has cover and will stand out
on a magazine shelf. As the actress on the
front isn’t famous they use the font of ‘21st
century girl’ to appeal to the audience. They
way they have her forwards and then the
backwards setting at the back shows where
the film is going to be set, and that it is a
social realist British film.
The way they have shown the plugs and skylines attracts the audience as bright
colours but not too much away from the main anchorage text and the main picture.
Out of all the three magazine covers I have analysed this Is my favourite and
promotes the film ‘Fish Tank’ to me more.

6. Evaluation
This magazine cover is
successful in my opinion as the
font around the central image is
bright and bold enough for
audiences to look. Due to how
famous Ewan McGregor is the
main image can be plain as his
face alone promotes the film
due to his huge success and
acting ability.
The left-side third is important on this image and sells the other things in the magazine to
me, the price and barcode are in a good small place which isn’t noticeable so you can just
focuses on the central imagine and anchorage text around it. The central image is so
important and show but still does not over power the ‘Sight and Sound’ skyline.
