Total Film Magazine.
Above I have copied an image of a previous issue of total film magazine. This issue is clearly focusing on the film 'Inception' as the layout and images are centered around it.
Looking at the top of the magazine it appears that 'Birdseye' images of building have been used to 'fill in' the logo, I think this is effective as it relates to the film and also looks unique which indicates to the readers that perhaps the film is. Also, the tag line at the top 'THE MIND BLOWING ISSUE' also relates to the film as its all about the mind. From this the audience can establish that this film is of the thriller genre
Leonardo DiCaprio is the dominant image on the cover as his image has been placed in the center This suggests to the reader that he may be/play a key role/character in the film. Looking at how the character is dressed in a suit, with his hands behind his back and with a suspicious face suggests to us that his character is complex, the reader could also guess from this that he may be a main protagonist in the film.
Strapped across the middle is the title of the film 'Inception' which placed on top of DiCaprio again suggests that he plays a main role in the film. There are also more taglines used below the title 'Inside the ultimate head trip' and also 'the 27 most mind-blowing movies ever' the first suggests that DiCaprio is the head trip and/or that the magazine have more information on the film inside alternatively making the audience want to buy the magazine to find out more. Whereas the second tagline suggest that the film 'Inception' is mind blowing, indicating to the viewer that its a must see.

Empire Magazine.
Above I have copied an image of a previous issue of Empire magazine. The main focus of this issue is clearly a movie special on Harry Potter as again the main image and tittles are areas surrounding the film. The main image is of Daniel Radcliffe staring as Harry Potter in a costume from the movie. The image clearly shows him to have been through some sort of ordeal as his face is covered in blood, all cut, broken glasses and is covered in dirt. This is enticing to the audience as they would want to know what the main event was for him to end up like that. This keys into the idea of the genre of fantasy meets action-adventure indicating that the film will contain fights, dangerous situations and possibly a lot of blood. The title 'EMPIRE' is also stripped across the top in big, red letters. The colour red could relate to the film being that red conotates to danger but also could relate to the blood on his face. Puffs and pugs have also been included on the sides of the magazine - relating to the image as they are all telling of articles in the magazine to do with Harry Potter. The puffs and pugs are placed mainly to the side so they do not distract away from the main image being Harry Potter. This means it is still the focal part of the magazine so all fans of Harry Potter will be attracted to buy it.
