Film Magazine Research

i thought before i started designing my magazine front cover i'd research existing film magazines so i could familiarise myself with some of the conventions etc.

these links have given me a rough idea of how to layout my magazine front cover, bold typefaces, quite masculine over look, a

movie star/movie logo will dominate the page.

mainly the pages are quite messy looking and clumsy with lots of cover lines etc.
