This is the magazine cover on EMPIRE for Inception. The background brings the image forward but the writing pulls it back making the whole magazine even and everything is in focus. The writing on the sides are based around the image but is not easy to read. I think all the colouring is similar and the bold red stands out over the image and the rest of the writing in this case it may be a good thing.
This is the magazine cover on TOTAL FILM for Inception. The image is too dark and blends into the magazine. But the magazine title is in theme with the name and image for the film it makes the magazine more eye catching and different, it also goes well with the background as around the title it is quite detailed and then towards the bottom it changes and pecomes more shades of plain blues. Even though there is alot of writing it is easy to read and doesn't over power the imaging.
I like the TOTAL FILM cover the best as the writing is easy to read and the title is eye catching and different. Even though the image is not perfect, all the colours go well together and give the magazine alot of depth.
