The actor's heads are covering the middle of the text, as 'Entertainment Weekly' is a well known media magazine, similar to 'Empire'.
The used of the pink title shows that this cover is meant to attract females, as the main article is 'Twilight'.
The use of the close up of distorted flowers shows that our focus should be on Edward and Bella. Additionally, the fact that the flowers are very colourful pinks and purples highlight the romantic genre, emphasising the attraction for females.
We learn a lot from the body language within the picture, Bella has her arm around him to highlight that they're in a loving relationshop, portraying the romantic genre. However, Claude Lévi-Strauss' binary opposition theory conveys two contrasting attitudes. This seen by Edward's facial expression, as we can tell he's worried about something, thus creating a lot of concern for the audience about his feelings and their relationship.
Richard Dyer's star theory is used to attract fans, as well known actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are the focus point of the magazine cover.
The bright yellow text 'A SNEAK PEEK' is used to stand out within the magazine cover, attracting a wider audience of 'Twilight' fans.
Addtionally the use of the text '98 NEW FILMS' also stands out as it is on a ornage background, and written in white and yellow. This also creates a wider audience as is advertises other genres, stereotyped to males.
To conclude, this magazine cover has used a different approach to those of my chosen thriller genre. The bright colours attract a audience who are interested in a different genre as the colours represent a romantic drama.
