Research
In order to make a successful magazine movie cover, we decieded to research popular magazines that were availble on the market. This helped me to understand the different codes and conventions needed for a magazine front cover. I looked at the following well known magazine companies such as 'Entertainment, 'Empire' and 'Slam' this was becasue as our genre was sports biopic I wanted to get an idea of how a sports magazine cover also looked, so that i could combine the two together. However when looking at the movie and sports magazine covers together you can see many similarities.
Empire Magazine is the biggest selling film magazine in the UK and also published United States, Australia, Turkey, Russia, and Portugal. Empire reviews many mainstream films and art films.
