Empire
Empire is a magazine that is published monthly in Britain. By looking at the front cover you can see that the use of colours and images suggest that this issue of the magazine is specialising in the fantasy and adventure genres. The title is boldly in gold, the colour gold suggests wealth and money, and this could suggest that this magazine is a high end film magazine. The colour gold could also contribute towards the narrative of the film advertised.
There is not as many subtitles on this magazine cover as there are on previous ones, they are relying on their choice of image and colours to encourage people to buy their magazine.
The selling line at the bottom of the magazine makes you intrigued to know what is inside. The name of the film advertised in also in bold letters, this helps to advertise the film.
The image is used to give the viewer an insight into the film if they have not seen it before. The image displays what looks like the protagonist and the antagonist; this gives the front cover a sense of mystery as we cannot tell how the film will end by looking at this image.
The dull, dark colours suggest that this film has mysterious elements to it; it also suggests that it has a dark side to the film. The image also gives the viewer a sense of location, as the image shows a dark, scary looking forest. There is also the use of a sticker on the side of the magazine; this allows the comment to stand out from the main image as it is the opposite colour to the background image.
The use of gold circle behind The Dark Knight Rises review suggests that it has a ‘gold standard’, this therefore sends the message that they have to purchase Empire in order to get the proper verdict.
