This is a copy of 'Best Movie' magazine, which has the two characters Harry Potter and Edward Cullen on it.
I was first drawn to this due to the two cover artists on it. I know that the fans of Harry Potter and the fans of Twilight are very competitve with each other and think that you can only love one film but hate the other, so I thought it was clever how the producers of the magazine have picked up on this and have made the two characters are rivals. A close up shot is used on both of their faces which challenges the conventions of a magazine cover and makes the image more suspensful.
The colour scheme on this cover is simple with the colours red, white and yellow. The colours needed to be fairly bright so that they had the ability to stand out from the dark grey background, however they are not so bright that they distract from the main attraction. The font is very bold and upper case lettering has been used, this allows the reader to be able to view everything on the page clearly.
The masthead is positioned right at the top of the page, it is in the colour red and is fairly large. It is larger than any other text on the page which shows that it is very important. This will make it easy for a reader to spot on the shelf of a shop and will make it stand out compared to others.
A puff has been used in the top right corner, making the cover seem a lot more busy and shows that there is plenty of material for the reader within the magazine.
The sell lines include other articles that the magazine has inside, which will either pursude the readet to buy or not. It also fills up the space on the page.
