Empire Magazine Cover Analysis

This is our Magazine front cover, It has the image that as a group we thought was the most appropriate for what we are trying to achieve, it depicts a female with a gun and she is looking directly at the viewer, this could make it seem more personal to the reader as well as them being able to see clearly that the main character is female and that the film may include some violence.
Underneath the Main Empire title is a small segment of writing, that is important enough for the front cover but not important enough to be in the same sized writing as the rest of the page, this is showing an exclusive interview with Robert Pattinson, this attracts the female audience and all the so called "Twihards", which is a huge segment of modern cinema audiences.
Beside the main image is in large writing "LoLa this summers surprise", this shows that the image is linked to the writing and the writing underneath shows the opinion of a respected magazine, which could leave the audience wondering what the surprise is.
At the bottom of the page in large writing is "this summer's biggest films" depicts that for the magazine reader this is important and something they might find interesting, below this is a list of three films that the magazine obviously thinks are going to be or are the biggest films of the Summer.
In our opinion the content of the magazine cover is exactly what we need it includes the basics that a magazine cover needs, as well as important pieces of information. What we could do to improve this is to use more interesting a bolder fonts that will stand out against the backdrop, we will also attempt to use coloured text bubbles around our writing to help it stand out.
