Magazine Front Cover Inspiration

When researching into our horror film magazine front cover we looked at a range of magazine covers from both Empire magazine and Total Film. We decided to create our magazine cover for Total Film as its isn't as large as Empire but its a new magazine which was launched in 1997 and features a range of full-length interviews with up-and-coming actors along with directors. As our film features a range of new actors, having an article in Total Film will allow our target audience to get a personal interview with our main actress. It would also give them the opportunity to understand the background of the film. When researching into front covers we came across Chris Pine's 'Star Trek' cover which we thought was effective. They use a basic black, white and red colour scheme which we could adapt as those colours are associated with horror and they also have a strong main image which draws the reader in.
