I have looked into Poster quite a lot recently and will continue to do so until I have decided how I want my poster to be laid out and what it will say about my film. However i should start looking at Magazine covers to see what i ca pick up from them and how it can influence my own magazine.

The masthead '' EMPIRE ''is written in a large font to grab the reader's attention and let them know what movie magazine they are reading. Also shows where the masthead is immediately The colour white of the masthead grabs the reader's attention and then allows them to transfer to the ''Captain America'' as the main cover line is also in white making it stand out.

The puff on the page relates to the main image. '' Meet Marvel's First Avenger!'' The main image is emphasised and takes up majority of the room on the cover yet leaving room for the cover lines etc. The puff and main image introduces the readers to Captain America  and gives the audience the sense of needing to read more about him as the puff teases the audience to come and ''Meet'' him inside. The text ''HOW SUMMER'S SUPERHERO WENT TO WAR'' also teases the readers as they would want to find out more about the film and the character himself.

The main cover line is also in a Capitalised, Bold font telling the reader what the main feature is about and who it represents, which is the main image.

The magazine also shows us the other features it has included.For reader's who may not be interested in Captain America there is also an alternative for other reader's. This part of the cover shows that they are not as important however to the main cover line. The issue No and the price of the issue in small font at the top. Some consumers may think that the Magazine is quite cheap for hat they are getting. ''32-page Sci-Fi Special inside'' they may thing its more worth the money with the booklet that comes with it.

The magazine theme relates directly to the main feature and creates a patriotic look for the magazine. This may make American Consumers more like to see it and buy it
