Magazine Cover: Empire

magazine cover: Empire

Colour scheme: The red master head stands out as one of the things your eyes are drawn to. Dr strange is the main story of the magazine and to show this it is the main image and the text is a different font and is white and fades away, this makes it stand out as the pull quote. The names of the other films are in yellow so you know what are films and what are not. This separates the text from the titles.

The picture is used because it has the most star appeal out of the many films/tv series' on the cover. It also overlaps the master head, this shows that it is the most important thing on the important. Fans of the actor are more likely to pick up the magazine. The bright yellow background makes the bold, bright, red master head stand out and makes the master head something your eyes are drawn to.

The caption for the picture has alliteration in, "...mind for the mystical mysteries of Marvel's...". This is a persuasive technique, it makes the text sound better and makes it more likely for people to pick up the magazine. the font used is quite informal so it creates a friendly calm(ish) feeling when reading the magazine cover.

Above the master head it says "New secrets of Star Wars Rogue one". "New secrets" are buzz words to make the reader think that this magazine has only, this makes people who want to know about the film will buy it to find out more about it. the coverless are very brief as the majority of them are just the titles of the films and tv series'. This makes you want to read more because they haven't told you what they know about the films/tv series'.

This magazine is for a range of audiences as it shows on the cover dr strange which is a comic film and also it shows jack reacher which is a action film then there is star wars which is a sic fi film.
