Magazine cover research 1

This is a magazine called 'Total Film'. I like bold title that this magazine uses as it enables the target audience to identify the magazine quickly. I also like the stories either side of the picture as it acts like a boarder for the picture which draws the eye inwards to the main picture and story of the magazine. From this magazine you notice the main story which is terminator salvation, this is because the picture is big and the main characters are in front of the magazine title. This shows the importance of the story. The colours also stand out from the rest but they still link together nicely. They have used read and white font which link in with the orange and yellow background of the fire. I think that what is used on this magazine is what I would like to portray on my own magazine.
