The company we are going to use to produce our magazine cover is Empire Magazine. Empire is a very popular and well known British film magazine and we feel that due to that using empire will be most effective at advertising and getting people interested in our film.
This is the cover used for the advertisement of the film The Dark Night. On this cover the main feature placed in the center is of the joker, the joker is the main Villon in this film like this poster our aim is to feature our killer in the center of the page the Villon is positioned facing directly towards the viewers all though his head is slightly facing down with his eyes looking up giving him a threatening presence this again is something we plan on using in our magazine poster.
The colours used in this image are all very bright and are colour coded to fit the character, our cover is going to be in black and white so we will most likely use colours to fit our colour scheme. The heading as usual with this magazine is written in capitals with bold font and is coloured a bright shade of red, we are going to keep this the same for our cover because it will have a good effect against our much darker background and also co notates blood and death.
This is the cover used for star trek into darkness like the previous cover for batman again the main feature is the Villon in the film and is also positioned facing the viewers but with his face positioned as though he's slightly looking up at the camera having characters positioned this way especially the Villon's is very common with magazine advertisement because it gives off a more threatening perception of the character. even if your not sure on the character being shown you can often tell what there role in the film may be.
The colours used in this cover are very different to the ones used in my first analysis. the back ground colour is very neutral with a misty effect rising from the bottom of the image around the character who is dressed in very dark relatively ordinary clothing. again the font used for the cover is very bold and presented in capitals. The main colour for the font is again a bright shade of red common with this magazine and con notates danger.
Im not to familiar with the film of which this image belongs to but it is significantly different to the ones i have previously looked at the cover features a close up on a woman's face. the colours used for this cover are also very different to my previous analasys the backgroud of the cover is completely white wich alows the main picture of the girl to stick out the character is splattered with blood across her face and covered on her neck the brightness of the red stands out effectively against the white
this isn't likely to be something we use for our cover because we aren't using a close up of our character instead our aim is to have him standing in darkness with his identity unrevealed and to have him standing in a threatening position.
again the font style is similar to the others maintaining the bold writing and the red colour scheme which is something were planning on sticking with.
This is our final analysis for the magazine empire the feature for this cover is the main creature from the film locked in which isn't a film i'm all too familiar with again like some of my previous magazines i chose this because the character is positions in the center of the page holding a similar position to the others which is what we are planning to do for our magazine cover.
the colours used for this poster are very dark and basic there is so real complicated element to the design the character is wearing a a black coat hi-lighting the pale skin seen on its face the contrast of the black on white is something we are going to use for out cover. the background is coloured a deep maroon red making the character seem more like a shilloette. The font style like the others is still bold and the heading has been kept the same bright red colour standing out on the cover.
