Magazine Cover Analysis; Spiderman

Purpose
The main selling point of this magazine is 'Spiderman', so the main image is of the protaganist, with the largest copy (bar the title) introducing the title story. It also advertises free posters for fans of 'Rocky 6' and 'Eragon' and a '20 page fantasy special', to appeal to a wider audience.
Colours
The main colours used are red, black and white. This seems to be a reccuring theme in movie magazines and they all seem to follow the same conventions.
Image
There is one main image featured of the protaganist of the feature story, and takes the form of a mid shot in the centre of the page. There are also two small images on the left hand of the bottom third, advertising the free posters inside.
Copy
Underneath the magazine title is the slogan 'The world's best movie magazine' and on the right hand side the website address. The issue number and date are featured at the top of the page, within the 'M' of the title. The copy advertises the main feature, the free posters and 5 other sub stories. Some of the copy requires the reader to have previous knowledge, such as 'Thunderdome kicks off' as many people may be unaware of who 'Thunderdome' is.
