Sky Movies Magazine


The masthead is in its own unique font, that is well known from the sky box adverts on the TV, which makes the magazine easily recognisable in a shop, and the well known brand will attract plenty of readers.

The main image is of a well known actor which helps to attract a bigger audience, her outfit is a very light colour, suggesting to the audience that she is a fair, soft, kind person. Her make up also suggests the audience that she is also vibrant. The photograph has the actor looking straight at the audience, this is done to engage the reader. The use of lighting in the photo makes Emma Watson the focus of attention, this helps to show her star appeal and make her the image of perfection that the people are used to seeing. The contrast with the car has an interesting effect, perhaps showing that this actress is a burst of sunshine in a dark time.

The main cover line is in the second biggest text on the page and is placed over the main image drawing your eye to it, this main cover line uses a highlighted 'exclusive' to give this main article that something extra special, that this is the only place to find this article, the reader will then be more inclined to buy this magazine.

The cover lines are given a highlighted title so that they stand out from the rest of the text, this is done to highlight what you will be getting from this magazine and really make it clear to the reader that all these really interesting topics are featured in the magazine without having to find the contents page.

The plus symbol acts is used to act as incentive for the reader to buy the magazine because it tells the reader that you are getting more for your money if you buy this magazine.

The left third of the page has several things that will attract the reader to this magazine when it's in the shop, at the top of the page there is the word 'win' with the exclamation mark, this will attract the reader because they will want a chance to win something, also the word Sky of the masthead is visible in the left third so readers will automatically see that they are looking at a sky product.
