Also, the word "film" is easy to eastablish from this magazine cover. The masthead is also the biggest text size on the page and is in a completely different font to the rest of the text, this makes the masthead stand out from the page to the target audience.
Main Image

Skyline

The skyline also attracts the target audience because it is telling them about what they can get from the magazine for free and this appeals to them.

Anchorage Text

Sell Lines
The sell lines of a magazine are what make the target audience want to open the magazine and read the articles because they are of popular topics that the target audience is interested in. In this case, it is other popular films that are out in the cinema at the time this magazine was made.
Layout and Colour Scheme
The layout of this front cover isn't too crowded as everything is set to one side rather than on both sides and all over the place. This makes it look more professional and therefore appealing to the target audience. The colour scheme of this front cover is bright and intreaging colours that will catch the eye of the target audience and draw them into reading the rest of the magazine rather than just the front cover.
