3. There isn't a tagline on the front just a review of "best picture of the year"

6. sans serif is used throughout, the title is the biggest and the most cartoony but the other sans serif text is more professional.

4. theres the enigma of the couple on the back and wondering where they come into all this and what happens to the baby.
5. the blurb states that "juno is a cool, confidant teenager that takes a nine month detour into adulthood trying to find the perfect parents for her baby" this shows its a film meant for teenagers who are interested in the drama of teen pregnancy, it also brings awareness to the subject.
6. same colour palette as the front.
7. other information is placed under the photos, showing special features and its film awards.

2. the title is near the bottom of the cover  in a red, white and black colour pallet, it is in a sans serif font,
3. there is a tagline just above the title stating "how do i loathe thee? let me count the ways" communicates there is some kind of disagreement between some characters possibly the two on the cover.

5. the blurb talks about this new boy finding the girl of his dreams but she is unable to date until her older sister Kat who is 'undateable' gets into a relationship. this raises question whether the story would follow Kat or the new boy, but either way its about dating which expresses the genre.
