Evaluation :Overall I feel that the use of magazine cover and Poster an ways in which they
can be interlinked to convey aspects of the narrative has been done really well. For
example they use the image of the main character to convey aspects of his personality.
Also the use of star names in the poster and the magazine cover has be used successfully.
I finally the link in typography works well as this makes us associate the typography with
the film.
