Final Film Magazine Front Cover

Anlysis

The poster we have chosen to use is this one produced by Ciara Walton in the group. We felt this magazine was for a more teenage market and was more appealing to our target audience. It does not challange any conventional forms of magazine layouts as the masthead is overlapped my the main image. All of the text is down the left hand third or below the image. The colour scheme is appropriate for the teenage target audience and fits in with the house style colour scheme helping linking in with the other ancillary texts to make sure they complement one another. The mastehad is large and is bold enough to be noticed with a recongizable logo and stamp at the head which will help gain the magazine an indentity. There is lots of different styles and fonts on the page which again is a conventional form which to will help meet the criteria our target audience will expect and be drawn too. The mention of the film and the film title its self again links within the house style and is the same font as the film title seen in the other products from the promotional package. However, it is another colour to help tie in with the magazine colour scheme which makes the magazine look better and allows the film title to tie in within the page. The use of puff and plug is not just a conventional form used across all genres of magazines front covers but, helps draw in the appropriate target audience. Some film magazines will bring the wrong traget audience into the magazine but this will bring the right teenage market into the magazine and evidently the film. Concluding the magazine doesnt challenge any conventional aspects of form from the film magazine industrey but uses these conventions in a way in which brings in the right teenage audience which is appropirate as this is our target market. The simple layout and use of different styles and fonts for the image which is backed by a strong bold photo which has been manipulated to suit the target audience is the perfect magazine front cover which will complement the other products in the promotional package.
