Masthead & Logo

This is the name of the magazine which has been placed at the top centre of the Page. This makes it very easy for people to recognise the magazine straight away. The masterhead has also been put in white capitals so that it stands out and will automatically catch the audience’s attention. The masthead is also used on the contents page and can also sometimes be seen on the right hand corner. Also on top left of masthead it says total which is part of the magazines name however they have made the word film the biggest so that the audience will be able to tell straight away what this magazine is about.The bold font shows that the magazine is very modern.

A logo is adopted by an organization or school to identify its products or company. The magazine does not have a logo however the masthead can be seen as one as it is the same in every magazine.

Date & priceline

The dateline is very imporatnt beacuse it allows the audience to keep track of what information is more recent.also It also gives you the issue number for anybody that likes to collect the magazine.

The magazine price is 3.50 it is placed on the magazine so everybody pays the same price and they know how much it is before going to buy it.

Barcode

Having a barcode means that you can find this magazine in news agents and supermarkets where they scan the item.

The main storyline

The main cover line is the main story that will be talked about in the magazine the story line is the only piece of text that is written in yellow which also makes it look more important as everything else is written in lower case white. The main cover line is ‘King Kong’. This is obviously talking about the main image. Also the font used is very modern including the never ending upgrades in technology.

The colour scheme

The main colour scheme is black, white and yellow. The main storyline and the cover lines are all written in yellow. The main background is black and the text about each story line is in white which gives it a balance and helps the audience to recognise which parts are most important.

The main image

The main image helps the audience to find out which story line is the main one. The image is of two charters in the film King Kong standing in front of King Kong him self, this image shows how big King Kong is compared to the two human characters.

Cover line 1, 2, 3 & 4

The cover lines are there to tell the audience briefly what else is featured in the magazine.

Audience

I believe that this magazine can be for anybody who enjoys films and reading about them.
