The magazine title is displayed in a large, bold font which as a reader you are drawn to quickly. The colour scheme for this film magazine cover is black, silver, white and red. The colour of the magazine title and the caption at the bottom of the page match the bright red evil eyes of the face. The colour red connotes maliciousness and danger, while the silver and black denote an icy, heartless, murky effect – which is in relation to the film ‘Terminator’ being promoted here.
The text at the top of this page reads, 'AMAZING FLASHING COVER PRESS HERE'. The fact that the eyes on the magazine will flash will automatically make the product more appealing to the audience as this is spontaneous and unordinary for a magazine cover to consist of. This feature will also help easily engage with the target audience and engross them further into purchasing the merchandise.
The main image on this cover is a close-up shot of the robot. The close-up angle displays the physical detail on the metal face while portraying the evilness of the character by the facial expression. The robot has the same facial characteristics of a skeleton skull which portrays the horror/creepy impression.
The barcode is positioned vertically on the right side of the cover; this is so that it doesn't steal the attention away from the main image. Aswell as this, the price of the magazine is written on the left hand side underneath the title - again preventing the attention being stolen - and making the reader so immersed in the image that paying £3.90 to purchase this magazine is agreeable. Having the date and issue number on the magazine can not only look professional but make new readers to this magazine aware that it is a well-known company.
