When it came to completing my own individual TV Listings poster i wanted to do alot of research into already existing TV/ Satelitte listing magazine covers.
The TV listings magazine the 'Radio Times' usually has one main focus picture with a main headline underneath with small txt detailing what else the magazine will feature. For example the picture above has 'The Radio Times' in big lettering in the background but is still visiable behind the Tardis, BBC's Doctor who with David Tennant as the main focus with the headline 'Death of a doctor' Exclusive preview of David Tennant's extrardinary finale'. It also features the date in which the issue was released and the price of the magazine.
Another example of the Radio Times focusing on one specific tv show is this one featuring BBC's hit show Robin Hood.
It features actors Richard Armitage (Guy of Gisborne) and Jonas Armstron (Robin Hood) the title underneath says 'Robin Hood, still feared by the bad, loved by the good?' just like the Doctor who cover above the Radio Times title is positioned in background but is still visiable, along with the date the magazine was released and the price, it also has two smaller txts detailing what the magazine will include. Just like the first two Radio times magazine covers I really liked the idea that the front cover was only one picture feature to one specific programe. Like these and the one featured below...
I liked the idea of one main focus image with the title of the show a small descripton underneath, then two smaller peices of txt that detail what else is featured in that issue, looking at this specif tv listings magazine I was able to come up with some good ideas for my own magazine.
