Magazine cover conclusion

This task has enabled me to discover that despite the identical conventions of all magazine covers, the content of the cover differs. This is all dependant on the publication type and aimed audience. For example, when I was comparing the cover lines for the productions mentioned on Total Film and Empire, they were both two different genres.

I now have a better understanding on the type of content to which I am going to use when deciding on which type of publication I am going to create. I also need to take font and colour schemes into account, as this reflects the types of films which are to feature on these magazines.

Below are the five posters, each of different genres, which I chose to analyse the conventions of: 1) La La Land 2) Spider Man 3) Insidious 2 4) Hangover 2 5) The Notebook
