The magazine cover features the main character from the film "Captain America". The colors used, including red, white, and blue, relate to the American flag and theme of the film. Additional yellow is used to draw attention to certain text and elements. The character's posture and attire provide clues about the plot involving American history and action/war. The direct gaze of the character aims to involve the reader. Overall the visual design effectively connects the cover content to the patriotic superhero film.

2. The colours and design of this magazine cover are made
to suit the plot of the featured film. The image
background is the American flag and the main colours
used are red, white and blue which suites the film
‘Captain America’. Yellow is also used for some parts of
the magazine like the sell lines and for the puff. This gives
it more colour and also the yellow is very bright and
stands out giving these parts a little more importance.
The Character on the front page is also the main
character of the featured film and is wearing the clothing
worn in the actual film. This give it more identity and
hints to the plot of the film. Just by looking you can see
that the film will be about America and involve some sort
of war or action because of the characters posture and
attire. The main character is also giving direct address to
the reader, allowing them to feel more involved.
The main character is portrayed as very strong,
masculine and a hero. This will gratify both sexes,
woman because they will find the male very attractive
and male audience as they can look to the character as
an inspiration of some sort.

3. These sell lines gratify the reader with information
of what will be included in the magazine. The
colours used are yellow and white. The yellow helps
the sell line to stand out more. ‘Plus!’ is in a larger
font giving it more emphasis.
This sell line is placed at the bottom of the page with
a white background. It is placed in a box that
separates it from the rest of the page. The sell line
shows extras that will be included in the magazine.
It includes a picture as well it’s the only other photo
on the page apart from the main image.
This puff is in yellow witch is a bright colour that is
very eye catching. The puff is related to the
featured film. This gratifies the reader with
information about what's in the magazine.

5. Looking at the magazine without the red
text you can see that the main colours used
are white and grey. White is used for all of
the text. The font used is mostly in, what
looks like, impact font and is very bold and
stands out.
The red text adds colour to the page and the
bright red stands out a lot against the dull
and plain colours used on the magazine. The
font is very rough, making it look like
marker.
The front cover gives strong clues into the
plot of the film and also makes the cover
look a lot more interesting. People will be a
lot more drawn to this magazine as it does
not look boring. The vandalised look will
catch peoples eyes as it will make them
curious.

6. The magazines main cover image shows the main
character from the featured film. Unlike most of the
magazines, the main character is placed behind the
masthead and it almost covers his face. The red text also
covers his moth and is on his body. These make the main
character look sort of weak
The puff stands out a lot on this poster because of its
size, it is a large puff and the text is also very large and
bold. ‘FREE!’ is put in black which separates it from the
white text bellow, drawing more attention to it. This will
persuade the reader to buy the magazine. There is a lot
of emphasis on the word ‘SEX’ as it has the largest font in
the puff.
The sell lines gratify the reader with information of
what else will be included in the magazine. This sell
line is almost identical to the one on the magazine
above. Both are placed on the right side of the
magazine

8. The main cover image is a group images of five
different characters from the featured film. The
positioning of the characters and editing make the
character at the front stand out the most. The
character has a more colour compared to that of
the other characters, he is positioned in the front
and over laps the masthead. He is also shown as
powerful because the image is taken in a high
angle. The characters are not giving direct address
and it looks more like an action shot.
The characters props hints to the plot and genre of
the film. The characters are holding guns this
shows that the film will include violence and
action.
This magazine would gratify the male audience
because of the way it portrays the featured
characters. The woman are very attractive and are
wearing revealing and quite provocative clothing.
Only the men are holding weapons, making them
look more violent and powerful. Follows the stereo
types of both genders.

9. The colours used in this magazine are yellow, white
and red. Red is used only for the films masthead. This
helps it stand out from the rest of the cover. It is
positioned in the middle and at the top in large text.
Yellow is also used on the cover. This colour is very
bright and stands out, which will help to catch the
audiences eye.
There is little text on the magazine compared to
the others I have looked at. The cover line is of the
largest text on the cover, apart from that of the
masthead. ‘SIN CITY’ and ‘BRUCE WILLIS’ are
written in bold white text. This emphasises their
importance. This is done because this is the main
story.
This banner is made to look like a film real, this suites the magazine and helps to
make it more clear that it is a film magazine. The banner separates the sell lines from
the rest of the cover. It gives information of what else will be included within the
magazine. It also included pictures

11. the front cove image is a long shot of the main
character of the featured film. She is wearing the
same clothing as what she would be wearing in
the actual film. This cover links little to the genre
of the film. The film is a vampire horror, however
the only link to horror is the blood on her hand
which does not stand out very much.
The woman on the cover is giving direct address
this gives the reader a sense of connection. The
cover image will mainly gratify the male audience
as the woman is wearing revealing clothing and is
very attractive. She is also a very well know
actress, therefore people will be more likely to
pick up the magazine because they are familiar
with the character.
There are only three other images on the page
that are small, this gives the main image a lot
more importance. It is also positioned in front of
the masthead completely covering the L in FILM.
This gives the character more importance.

12. I do not like the magazine cover as it does not
show the title of the featured film. Most magazine
covers I have looked at make it clear of the title of
the film. There are no cover lines or any
information of the cover images. The reader will
not be able to tell what the featured film s unless
they have seen it or know from another source.
The colour scheme is manly blue, red and
white/grey.
The largest text on the page is the films masthead,
it is also in red, this allows it to stand out the most
and gives it the most importance on the page.
The second largest text on most magazines would
be the cover line, however as this magazine does
not have it this is not the case. The second largest
font is both the puff and the strap line above the
masthead. Both of these show that there is not a
single film that is the main focus in the magazine,
but instead many films.

13. The magazine has a lot of sell lines. The cover shows a lot of
information of what will be included on the magazine. On
the top sell line a blue highlight, white font and a larger text
are used than the below text, giving this part more
importance. It says ‘Exclusive’ this persuades the reader and
makes them want to look more into it. It also says ‘and 94
more’ this makes it so the reader will not know what else
will be included unless they read more into the magazine.
Underneath ‘PLUS’ is written in large red font that allows it
to stand out further. Emphasising the word plus shows the
reader that there is a lot included in this magazine.
This is a pull quote gives a hint of what will be talked
about in the magazine. This gratifies the reader with
information.
Underneath in red is the only place the name of the
featured cover film image is mentioned and only in
little font, this gives it very little importance.
