The majority of film magazines have a focus on one film with an image that covers the front page. The title of the film is usually written in large block text and sets the theme throughout the magazine. With several cover stories to give an idea of what is contained within. These all tend to follow the same font themes, size, colour and style. The image essentially covers the whole front of the magazine. More often than not, it is the protagonist in the film.
