The main image on this magazine front cover is the star of the movie, this works as a USP to entice customers into buying the magazine which then promotes the movie. The colours used in the front cover match the colours used in the image; the use of the plain white background is more effective for the bright colours of the actress’s costume and also the blood dripping from her hand. This image is done photographically which therefore makes the image detailed and clear. The front cover tells the potential buyers a lot about what the contents are. The promises made by offering the ‘biggest’ and the ‘exclusives’ make the magazine even more desirable by movie fans.
The colours used for this front cover are matching to the costume of the actor, this makes the magazine stand out more as bright green and pinks are eye catching to consumers. The magazine still keeps it brand identity by keeping its masthead the original bright red. The main image is one of the main characters from the batman film ‘the dark knight’, this is used as a USP for the magazine as consumers will buy the magazine just for the exclusive of the movie and that character. The magazine also offers ‘sneak peaks’ into other new films which makes the consumer want the magazine further.
3. Empire –
The main image for this magazine front cover has been illustrated and done using Photoshop or other photo manipulation programmes. This magazine front cover stands out to consumers as it appears to be more like a comic book as the images are not done photographically like the usually are and the font has been broken and played around with. This makes this issue of the magazine more of a collectable to certain consumers as this issue is more exclusive and unique than other normal issues. The main colour that’s used to stand out is green and this is because consumers will automatically link it to the green of the hulk. The magazine doesn’t promote what is inside the magazine but that makes it a mystery to the consumer.
4. Total Film –
The main image of this front cover is the main character and his co-star, this image has been done photographically but has been edited in a photo manipulation programme such as Photoshop. The main colours are red blue and white, these colours make the magazine stand out as they are quite vibrant, the main actor stands out more as he is wearing black compared to the colourful surroundings. The magazine claims to be the world exclusive which is a big selling point for the magazine as people will need to buy this magazine to be able to access the world exclusive inside details.
