Deconstruction of Hangover Magazine Cover;

This magazine cover is for what appears the complete opposite to our film genre; thriller. We used a cover with The Hangover on the front this is because we could not find a magazine cover for Crazy Stupid Love as it is a very recent film. Therefore we though of another popular comedy which we found did have a few magazine covers to choose from. This magazine cover is to help give the group an idea what is needed on all the magazine covers. Also to see if there is any difference that may stand out to contrast against the genre.

The first section is off the title the bright orange and white that is used makes it appear to be quite a positive magazine. Also the roundness of the font makes it seem quite relaxing and simple. The font is overlapped slightly by the people on the front cover this gives you an idea that the title is not as important, as introducing the characters.  Also the light background makes the magazine appear quite positive and calming, this differs from the darkness and suspense which is created in the Fangoria magazine.

The next section tells you who the people on the front of the magazine cover are and why they are there; ‘The Hangover Bro’s’. This shows you what film they are from and the word ‘funny men’ shows you that the genre is comedy which relates to the humour of the magazine cover.  The font is consistent throughout the magazine cover.  Also the use ‘of the year’ shows the popularity of the actors and the film.

The next section shows the words ‘men of the year’, this once again shows the popularity. Also it may be seen as a persuasive device, this is because of the year may be an exaggeration therefore intensifying the phrase and make it appealing for the reader.

The next part shows other subjects that are covered in the magazine; this is to show the reader what they are getting themselves in for. The ‘what else’ which is included links to the positivity and the humour that is on the front cover. This will be something that we will take in consideration when making our own magazine cover.  The cover links to the genre well which is something with have seen in previous magazine cover deconstructions.







The last section is of the main image this introduces the character to the reader. This image differs from the Fangoria magazine as it shows the actors in a much more glamorous outfit rather than their character. This image conveys the genre of the film it is promoting, by using a quite humorous and relaxed pose. The expression on the actors is quite positive which creates a positive look for the whole magazine cover.
