Magazine Cover Inspirations
FilmFare
FilmFare's magazine cover, while on this cover the logo is hard to see due to the actor's head in the way but this may be because the magazine wants you to notice the actor more than the title and long-time readers of the magazine know what it is anyway. This cover is a little more different to the two below as it doesn't throw out movie names at you and inside gives you stories on actors included in films perhaps.

The Empire
The magazine cover of the Empire attempts to promote one of the most anticipated films of the month the magazine is released in order to engage the reader's attention, especially fans of the film. For this cover, the film is Inception which is described as "the Matrix meets 007 on steroids". While this at first glance is a little joke this could attract fans of the Matrix and 007 and even beneficial for those people who may be fans of both films. The cover also mentions the other films readers might be interested to watch around the same time as Inception's release, such as Batman 3, Thor and Toy Story 3 and each of these fall into different categories which caters the magazine to all genres of audience.

Total Film
Total film's magazine cover depicts the then-new movie Thor arriving to cinemas as the "new superhero god". This tagline alone attracts the readers to think that Thor is the next "god" and full of power and therefore brings viewership. The image of Thor not only establishes identity but reflects the tagline as it shows the power he has including the stern and serious look on his face. The top of the cover states "the Marvel Movie issue" which could attract fans of the Marvel films and at the bottom to conjoin with this are names of three other Marvel superheroes The Hulk, Spider Man and Ant Man which may make this particular issue one for Marvel fans to definitely pick up.

Scream
Both the movie poster and the front cover to the Scream magazine have the same image. On the movie poster the image is in red and black which works really well because red and black are the colours you'd link to horror. The image on the movie poster is a closer up image to the image on the Scream film magazine. The font on the movie poster is also the same as the font on the Scream magazine apart from the colour is slightly different.

Entertainment Weekly
The poster for 'Scream 4' is similar to the front cover of the magazine 'Entertainment weekly' with 'Scream 4' on the front. They both have the iconic image of the scream mask so the audience will instantly know it's a new Scream film. In the poster, the bottom of the face is a blade of a knife which represents death. The poster and Magazine front cover both have different colour backgrounds. The magazine has a red background which is a colour that you associate with horror because it represents things like blood and death. The poster just has a black background so the white face is the main focus point to the audience.
