Movie Magazine Research

In this blog i am research and looking at the differences between movie magazines and analysing the differences to get a more open view on how the layout is created i will be looking at two different magazines.

in this first magazine i can see that the main actor of the movie is on screen with a smaller image of another featured movie soon to be coming but the main focus is about the movie they are talking about.

Also they have a quote from the movie that they use a s a tag line for advertisement.

It shows other articles which are in the magazine with a list of movies on the side and below the small image above there is the name of the magazine with the website name and the price.

However the barcode is in the bottom right corner. the colour scheme is quite dark on one side but light on the other this is to highlight the main focus of the movie.

In this next magazine the lay out is slightly different for example the title of the magazine is not at the very top instead it is a list of films above there and the title of the magazine its self below the list. 

The title is made differently to the other magazine as it just being single image there is text within the image on one of the main vectors. However the movie is highlighted with the larger text at the bottom of the magazine with the main actor in the centre meaning this is the important main article in this magazine.

on the left side of the page there are other articles highlighted. On the other hand there are films listed on the spine of the magazine this is a different to the previous magazine. Further more there are articles listed on the right side other then the left with a small image advertising the next issue of this magazine which also says collect all four mean its a limited issue.

A similarity to the other magazine is that the bar code is on the right side just like the previous magazine.

One final difference is that the main article has a tagline which makes the buyer more eager to read it.
