Research: Reflection on learning of film magazine front covers with links to own

A magazine front cover we closly looked at and got a lot of ideas from was the Empire addition of 'Silence of the Lambs'. First of all we liked the use of red on black, as it conveyed a dark film. We also liked the use of the shadowing around the face, as it made the character seem dark and mysterious. We liked the use of 'PLUS' on one of the cover lines showing that the film was the main feature. We also liked the list of celebrities featured in the bottom right hand corner. However, instead of this we gave a smaller list with some more detail in order to entice the reader to read on. Overall this magazine gaves us ideas on the colour scheme for our film magazine front cover.
