Magazine Inspiration

From looking at magazine covers from my research these are two that have inspired me when beginning to plan my own:

These two magazine covers are from Empire magazine and Total Film magazine. The main image in both magazines is a mid-shot of the character looking at the camera, my magazine will feature the character positioned the same. There's two colours used for the titles in both magazines, this distinguishes the different stories and also stands out over the picture. I will use the same type of format when coming to plan my own cover.
