Horror Magazine Cover Analysis 3 - TOTAL FILM

this is a magazine cover for TOTAL FILM magazine the picture on the front of this is very sexualised this is done to attract the male audience, therefore this magazine is targeted towards young males. i really like the layout of this magazine i think that it is very well spread out and the colours really go well together, i think that the white back ground looks very clean and professional the pictures along the top of this magazine show snippets of with is iside the magazine and i think that this makes me want to buy the magazine because i see a little insite and then i want to read on. the way the have got 'out biggest preview ever!' written on this magazine is a marketing technique, if the consumer think that it will be the 'best' of something or they will be getting 'extra' for their money then they will be more open to buying the magazine. i think one down side to this is that the creators could have doe more to make this piece of information stand out against the rest of the cover lines. to me any person just scanning the shelves would just skip past it where as if it was in a box in a colour that didn't fit the colour scheme them it would catch the buyers eye and possible pull them in more.

i think that other weaknesses of this magazine cover are that some of the cover lines are a little small therefore a bit hard to read although i do think that this is a minor problem and overall i really like this magazine and i would buy it if i was looking to get a film magazine.
