The Hobbit magazine cover analysis
The magazine comes
out once a month which is made evident by the layout of the date (only the
month and year is given). The price is very high at $11.99 which explains why
it is so small, so it is the last thing the audience will see, in this way the
audience are already drawn in by the persuasive techniques used on the page.
The mast head is unusually not the largest text on the page but still stands out as the most important text as it is bolder, in a different font and in gold which in itself connotes the best, the number one magazine. The other writing is in white, so it stands out but not in the same way as the main title. The audience’s eyes will be drawn to the text above the masthead, telling the audience that the issue is a collector’s item. This straight away makes it a must have for big fans of the hobbit which as well as connoting great quality also tells the reader that they can trust the information given in the magazine (which are notorious for bending the truth).
The hobbit is written in the largest font towards the middle of the page, so the audience know immediately what the magazine is about. The fact the name is so big and one of the first things you see tells us that this is a huge selling point of the magazine and a major thing to draw the audience in.
The text underneath the title states that this is the ultimate guide putting it above all others including manuals purely dedicated to the film. This makes the audience want the magazine even more. The main image on the page is the same as the image that appears on the official film poster. This makes the magazine appear equally official and in league with the production team who created the film.
There are 3 smaller images on the page displaying other characters of the film suggesting that the magazine covers a lot. While the images are attentions attracting they don’t take away from the main image.
