Analysis of magazine covers


Here the title is overlapped by the main image, the title consists of white san serif text which has the word "total" cut out of it. The main image has a good background, so that the eye doesn't get distracted but it still has detail in it. The main colours used on this magazine cover are greys, black, whites with the  only bright colour being yellow, this is used to emphasise certain parts, mainly the titles such as "Inside","plus" and "world exclusive". The movie title isn't necessarily used a little pun about the Bourne Ultimatum movie "Wahlberg finds his Bourne".  The barcode is on the bottom left of the magazine, with the price close to it. The main title is cut up which in kind of in theme with the type of movie it is, action, the font is edgy and modern. There is one pug above the main text and that is all, there are no banners across the top or bottom. 




Here the title is overlapped by the main image again, the title consists of blue san serif text which has a pug above it advertising it to be the special double issue. The main image has been photoshopped to have multiple actors and actresses in it together as their characters on a white background, this makes you focus on the people in the image. The image is composed in a type of triangle shape, with stars staggered backwards and is made obvious it has been super imposed due to Maggie Simpson, a cartoon also being in the "photo". The main colours used on this magazine cover are white, grey and blues with the use of red to make things stand out. There looks to be very little text on this magazine compared to the one above, there isn't as much detail, the text is also mostly kept towards the bottom of the page unlike above where it is maily on the left and right of the cover. There is no barcode on this magazine, just a price and issue number beneath the title on the right. The main title uses capitals to emphasis certain words such as "NEW CLASSICS". There is one pug on the main image and that is all, there are no banners across the top or bottom.
