Contrasting magazine cover

 

These are magazine covers from contrasting genres. They appear to follow similar principles. The main character of the film in question is the subject of the cover; the background shows a simple, faded scene from the film; the writing advertising the segment on said film is big, bold and contrasts with the background; all other writing is smaller indicating that it is less important; all of these elements together reflect the atmosphere of the film. There are also the necessities such as the barcode, price, bold title and adverts for other segments.
