Things I've learnt about magazine covers

Through my research there are a few things that I have noticed that run commonly through every (film) magazine cover. These things consist of:

• The title is always the brightest/one of the brightest things on the page, featuring bright(er) colours
• In horror film magazine covers particularly I've noticed that the main image is usually of the antagonist rather than the protagonist
• There is usually quite little writing around the outside, and the parts that do include buzz-words and only use really relevant information

With this information I can now go on to creating my first rough sketch of my poster.
