Entertainment
Entertainment magazine is an American magazine published by Time Inc; this magazine which specialize in television, film, music, Broadway theatre, books and popular culture.
This cover of the magazine focuses on the film Catching Fire, part of the Hunger Games trilogy which went from a book to a film. The model in the image is the main character from this trilogy and is looking directly at the camera. In today's generation, Jennifer Lawrence is viewed as one of the world's hottest women and this helps to capture the readers eye with Jenifer looking directly at the camera. Having this actor, who is the main character, allows the magazine to gain more circulation and popularity.
The bold masthead is positioned behind Jennifer and is almost unreadable, yet as this magazine is such a popular choice for readers, people instantly know the name and look from its own iconic font and layout. Having the masthead behind her allows her to stand out from the magazine, adding a sense of realism. The designers tend to use models looking towards the camera and positioned in the middle with a dramatic expression, fitting the films atmosphere.
The Background of the cover is a scene from the film, a dramatic part where the fights take place and having this model with this pose shows her luring gaze. Also, the pathetic fallacy use of the rain adds to this theme of drama and action and the rain is also overlaying the masthead, continuing to make the model stand out while giving the magazine a simplistic yet intriguing outcome.
Having some parts of the text in bold shows the reader the most important and iconic parts, for example: 'BREAKING BAD FINALE' is capitalized and is something that was a massive hit at the time of publication.
