Completed Magazine Cover

This is my completed magazine cover.  It is like any other magazine cover, it has a main focus which is the actor which is in the film.  It has a competition at the top which most magazines have and then adjacent to it, it has the month and year it was released.  The title is nice and big and it is clear.  In most magazine the main focus is over the bit of the title which my main focus is doing.  It has a sub title across the back of the main focus it is noticeable and clear adjacent to it there is a list of action films of 2013 which magazines have.  At the bottom of the screen there is 3 other subjects and a barcode most magazines will have these but the 3 stories are just snippets and it makes you want to pick it up and carry on reading it.  The sticker which says 50 reviews inside this issue looks like a sticker but it isn't it is just made to look like that.  Overall I think that my magazine looks like a typical magazine cover.

Basic Layout Design

A basic layout design of magazine cover, they acquire certain specs.  Such as this Empire cover has a blue background and it links with the characters next to young Xavier and also because it is X-Men First Class they changed the X-Men emblem from silver to blue so that it links with the 2 characters next to Charles Xavier.  Some covers at the bottom have a strip at the bottom.  There will always be at release date, price and some times an issue number.  As well as the magazine name there will be a sub heading depending on the film that is on the cover.  There will also be a barcode.  On this magazine they keep within colours on the titles and sub headings, on this magazine they keep it white and yellow because if there is too many colours it would be to in your face.  There is no competition on this issue but there would normally be one.  On this issue as well it tells you that there is another edition of this magazine with a different colour so that people who collect them can collect the other cover.
