Genre/ institution research

After looking on the internet I've found out a lot about the way institutions create their film magazine front covers.

All film magazines seem to use the same layout as each other. This layout tends to be one main image on top of a background and then text all around the outside of the main image. By doing this it immediately brings the readers attention just to this main image and if this draws the readers in then they are likely to read the text around it.

I've decided I'm going to stick with these conventions as I believe this is a very good way in which I can attract readers to come and look at the front cover of my magazine. Also I know this way works because people buy other film magazines by doing it this way so I don't want to try something new just in case it doesn't work.
