Film Magazine Cover Analysis: Empire - Tron Legacy

I analysed the cover of an issue of Empire magazine and noticed several key concepts I could incorporate into my own magazine cover.

-Very powerful, bright masthead immediately attracts the public. I must follow this convention and create a bold and attractive masthead.

-A slogan that makes the story in the magazine sound un-missable, encouraging people to buy the magazine to find out more.

-Confidently bigs itself up with a high ranking title. In this case; magazine of the year. 

-The title of the main film in question is displayed in an attractive and relevant font, attracting potential fans of the film. I shall use this convention on my own magazine.

-Use of a self-supporting phrase implies that it is superior to other magazines, with the key word greatly emphasized. I will use take this approach with my magazine, stating why my magazine is better than others. 

-Offers other reasons to buy the magazine than just to read it, such as free gifts or collective value. A potential idea I could incorporate into my magazine.

-Other interesting stories displayed clearly on the cover to encourage the public to buy the magazine to find out more.
