Research – Magazine Covers 1 Empire

Empire is a British film magazine published monthly, it is the biggest selling film magazine in Britain, consistently outselling its nearest market rival Total Film. Empire is popular because it tends to cover popular releases, is well informed as to what the tastes of popular culture are and it is irreverent in its approach when reviewing. It specialises in film news, previews and reviews, Empire has some unique regular features,  such as the "Classic Scene", this is a transcript from famous film scenes.


I will now begin to analyze one of the Empire magazines covers in detail.

  
Empire magazines are known for using a lot of different fonts and sizes on their magazines. The featured film on the cover is Sin City which is given the main prominence. The main picture is of John Hartigan played by Bruce Willis from the film Sin City. The magazine also shows a number of unique selling points. For example interviews, previews, DVD reviews and movie reviews. This will attract people to what’s inside the magazine.
