Magazine Cover - Source 2

Total Film is a good example of a magazine which promotes film and offers information into the major releases of the month or coming year.

The LAYOUT of this poster is one which I will use as a guideline in the conceptualization of my own. To me, the attractive features of this poster include the Bold Red text above the film logo and the small text spots where information in the inside of the magazine is displayed.

I am also inspired by the design of the 'Total Film' logo, with it's large block capitals and the small "total" boxed inside the upper half of the "F". I think I will call my magazine "FILM ECHO", and I could have the "film" part boxed inside the central section of the "E" in echo. It's ALL about aesthetics when it comes to magazine covers because if it doesn't LOOK interesting, it won't sell. I need to take this into consideration.

Audiences will most likely judge the magazine by its cover.
