The Purpose of a Magazine Cover

Film magazines inform the public about upcoming films, so the audience can learn the characters, actors, plot, production, release date, interveiws etc.... These are all used to get audiences excited and even interested. If you bought the magazine for another article and happen to come another good looking film then the magazine has served it's purpose. The front cover of the magazine is most often the biggest film due to be released, these are often made by big companies such as Warner Bros, Pixar, Twentieth Century Fox. This will reach a wide audience to attract readers. Magazines use puffs such as "exclusive" and "sneak peak"
