Empire magazine style model

There are several different conventions of movie magazines, and Empire contains some of it's own unique features. The first would be the bold and distinctive masthead, which has a red font that is synonymous with the Empire brand. This is placed behind the character on the front cover, and this is usually done in order to show this character, in this case Kylo Ren, who is very popular and recognisable, causing people to gain more interest.

There is a distinct colour scheme on the page, that of red, white, silver and black, and this was chosen in order to reflect the characters own design and surroundings. I could incorporate this into my own trailer by having the house style reflect the main villain, for example i could use the red of the Empire masthead in order to representing blood.

The cover also uses some minor but still important features, such as the date, price, barcode and more, and all of these conventions are going to be included in my own front cover.
