This front cover contains less than other front covers that I have analysed. The main focus is once again on one of the primary characters featured in the main film review/ preview, in this case Gollum. As in he Tron Legacy front cover there is also the option of collecting other versions as well as to increase hype and demand for the article and the magazine an film itself overall. They have chosen to position Gollum in front of the logo, partially obscuring it. This is because of the large role that he plays not only in this film and its respective article, but in the franchise as a whole. Another hark back to the Lord of the Rings Films, of which Gollum was a main character, is the tagline for the issue as well as an advert. It says "5 covers to rule them all". This will remind fans that the review will also remind fans of The Lord of the Rings, and will also get them excited for it as well. The only other piece of text that is on the front cover is that of the title of the special feature, which is The Hobbit. This is feature in a bold white font, that clearly contrasts with the rest of the dark background, as to draw the consumers attention.
