Each type of magazine has its own style of genre to adhere to and to attract the intended target audience. To make it appropriate for the audience.
Film Magazines
The target audience to most film magazines are targeted at males, as the typical conventions of a film magazine cover is to show an image from a horror, action film rather than a romantic comedy. Since the target audience of the trailer I am creating is aimed at females, I have to make the magazine interest this gender. Therefore I will need to create a cover that would appeal to a female audience. In this case something free from a film that they would most likely watch would be the most appropriate way of getting this audiences attention.
