Magazine Cover Analysis - Entertainment Weekly:The Hangover 2


The 'entertainment weekly' is big and bold in yellow, connoting happiness, friendly and funny could suggest people should go see it. As its weekly, it has current information, potentially meaning the magazine is likely to be a cheaper.

With the colours being mostly light and warm, linking with the expressions on the faces of the main characters, their facial expressions are mischievous and in act to link to the genre. A plain green background possibly could suggest to the audience that the actors are the only things that matter. With their position being on centre may suggest that they are all equally as important and come as a trio, this builds interest into their relationships to each other. 

Although the title of the film is smaller than the big text underneath it 'bad boys', it is used with the same font and surrounding to make it look official and legitimate. With the text ‘bad boys’ being bigger underneath  could suggest that the figure in the magazine is more a character profile than about the film, the white stands out clearly against the background. Yet the text below reveals features and scenes that occur in the film. 'Bad boys' attracts attention, causing the cliché 'everyone loves a bad boy' attracting a female audience.


On the other side of the front cover, the text is differed by colours making it easier to read; as a result audiences are more likely to read it. Information on the magazine cover is limited, potentially because the actors have such big influence on audience to attract them.
