Empire is one of the most famous film magazine. On their covers they have the latest films advertised, for example Harry potter and the deathly hallows. This attracts the audience as they like to be kept up to date. The masthead is in a bold red colour, the magazine usually has the same font and colour for every issue to keep a house style. There is a smaller image placed on the bottom of the left hand side of the magazine. This shows that this image is importanat to this issue. The words 'massive preview special'are in a larger font than the rest of the coverlines. This is due to it being an exclusive preview of a upcoming film. This attracts the target audience as they love having the chance to win something. Their is a stapline used at the bottom of the magazine, they have advertised an upcoming movie that the target audience would be interested in. This is intriging the audience and getting them interested. Their are some coverlines on the left hand third, these are placed here as in case the magazine is placed on a horizontal shelving system.
On this magazine it is quite busy, however still appears neat, The coverlines are positioned in line with Megan Fox, which helps to highlight her importance. Words and phrases such as hot and the most wanted woman in Hollywood help show the idea of sex appeal. There is a main colour scheme of blue, grey, black and white. The other feature photographs in the bottom left corner also contain these colours. The bold title however does not comply with this colour scheme and is instead in a vibrant bright red.The main attraction of this cover is its sex appeal. Megan Fox is a well known actress and sex icon. Her bare upper body and tight leather trousers, along with her pose and expression, not only portray her in a sexual manner but the image also has an element of vulnerability. Clearly this will appeal to the male members of the audience, but also any females are likely to find this appealing as they may idolise her.
