Film magazine cover analysis
Empire - Iron Man 2
The magazine masthead mostly uses the same font for each issue but on some occasions they change the colour/effect depending on what film is being featured that month, in this case it is Iron Man 2 and they have created an electricity effect to tie in with the films main villain. This is such a well known magazine that the editors are allowed to cover up part of the magazine name because hey know people will recognise the image and font from previous editions.
Iron man is the central image because that is the feature film for this issue, the image is very dominant and takes up the whole of the front cover - this is intended to intimidate the reader and also show how powerful this superhero is.
Hyperbolic words such as ""ultimate", "plus!" and "amazing" draw the readers in and show the magazine to be jam packed and full of lots of interesting stuff. The use of exclamation marks add to the importance and excitement.
The use of electricity and bright lights has the connotation oof power, this is continued into the main headline which is bold white font with a light blue outline, this continues the theme of electricity.
