Magazine Cover Research

'Total Film'

This Total Film magazine is featuring 'The Huntsman.'

What we can develop from this magazine into our own work:

• Having the main characters at the front
• Having the background relevant to the film - the ice is directly from 'The Huntsman'
• Keeping the magazine title at the top - Total Film
• Having the film title overlapping the main image
• The tagline/caption being smaller than the title - 'Theron and Blunt stone cold witches'

'Zombies'

This magazine is called Zombies and focuses more on zombies in general rather than a specific film.

We can still take inspirtation from the colour scheme, titles, images, layout etc...

• The yellow title and border is very eye-catching and is also a colour often associated with caution, which is relevant when it comes to zombies
• The grey background and undertones gives a dull and lifeless feel to the magazine cover
• The magazine title is white which stands out against the yellow and grey. 
• The title also has a 'rough' and 'ragged' effect to it.
