On this front cover there is a very large picture of a character from the film Avatar. These characters are identified straight away from this film by their unique look and colour of their skin. The magazine is trying to promote the latest film called Avatar. I can tell this straight away by the character on the front cover and the big bold white lettering which says the film title on it across the page. The creature is standing in front of a blue watery background which shows where the film is set in their little land which is covered in water but they usually fly so the background could also be regarded as the sky. The background also gives a hint of mystery to where this creature comes from and what their world is like. Also it shows exclusives and previews of what's inside the magazine which is the most important thing on the front cover of the magazine apart from the photo. The fact that the picture on the front cover is big makes it eye catching and appealing to potential buyers and fans of animation.
Title
The magazine title is TOTAL FILM. The reader can identify this straight away because it is in bold white and purple letters which are very large. The purple writing and outline for the word film and total are that colour to show a constant flow between the background and the writing and also to show that the magazine front cover is all about promoting that film. The word total has been engraved into the word film to make it unique. This also makes it look more professional because it is in purple which is the theme of the front cover because everything else is purple or blue. This title is partially blocked by the creature which makes the audience concentrate on who is in the magazine more than what the title is. This could also help the magazine because it could lead the potential buyers to look at the picture and then see that it leads to the title of the magazine so will make them look at it.
ExtrasThe extras on this magazine front cover make the potential buyers want to pick it up and have a read of the magazine. Using things such as big bold white writing with things such as 'It's a guy thing' will attract the attention of the readers and will make them read what is underneath it in smaller letters and potentially lead them to buy the magazine. Although there are no sneak peaks in this magazine there are lots of interviews which will keep the audience interested and will make them want to pick up the magazine if they see something they like. These interviews also relate to the target audience of people who buy these magazines because the pictures of films being reviewed are aged at teenagers not the elder generation or really young children.
LetteringThe lettering for this magazine front cover is all in purple or white which sets the theme which is water and mystery because we don't know what this creature is or does. This shows that this magazine front cover has been set up to only promote this film. The fact that the lettering that isn't as large on the side of the page to promote other stories is so that it doesn't take away the audience focus from the main picture and film promoted. This is in white which help it stand out more but stops the consistency of colour on the front cover which is purple and white. Obviously the most important part of this magazine is the title of the film which needs to be in bold otherwise people wont know what film this is promoting. Avatar is the largest thing on the magazine and is written in bold to make it as eye catching as possible to browsers. The colours purple and white are used here because they are a reoccurring theme on this page and the editor wants a constant flow to the front cover.
