This is a typical poster for a well, established magazine well total film, immediately we are aware that total film is a well established magazine as the title is covered up by the character featuring on the front, this suggests the lack of importance of the name, as everyone is aware of the magazine and the features it initials. The title is also covered up due to the way the character is standing, this has been set out in this way due to the fact 'Harry Potter' is a very popular and a well established film, and the character is easily identified with the film, being one of the three main characters. Stragiht away people will.
'No School. No rules. Hermione faces her darkest demons.' We are hoping to find a little insight of what happens in the long awaited Harry Potter and the deathly hallows.
Hermione name isn't big and doesn't stand out, it is of a similar colour and font to the rest of the text, this is because Emma Watson is a star who is known world wide for playing this role. This magazine is aim towards middle aged men, hence why the writer had decided to put Emma Watson on the front opposed to Daniel Radcliff and Rupert Grint, men are more likely to want to buy a magazine with an attractive women on it rather than a male, yet the designer has been clever in making the back round a mixture of blacks, pinks and also purple, purple is a royal colour suggesting that she is in charge and in control of the situation, while the black could suggest the darkness that the film contains as audience members who are familiar with the film know the dark lord is coming and those who are not are familiar with the film are aware that the film is all about magic and knows something negative is going to happen. The different shades of pink complement Hermione along with drawing in females in wanting to buy and read the magazine, but still keep the deep shades of purple and blacks to appeal men. For this reason the font are light colours, whites and greys to make them stand out from the dark back ground, the title 'Harry Potter' is so white to the point it is glowing looking as if it could be transparent.
This magazine has an add on which is appealing to a wide variety 'PLUS? are you in our social network?' Social networking is now a big part in everybody's life from older people to young children and social networking is something that is of interest to everybody, which I feel is enough to draw people in. Social networking is much like the film Harry Potter, loved by a mass audience from a variety of age groups.
