Empire (2015) Magazine Cover Analysis


This Empire magazine cover has used the photo of the Joker from the film Suicide Squad as the main focus point for this page. He is right in the centre looking directly at the audience. This allows the viewer to connect with the character increasing the chance that they will eventually buy the magazine. 

The colour scheme used is white, purple and green, which resembles the colours used for the joker in the film and other films with that character included. This is quite a bold colour scheme and make the audience feel threatened by the mix of colours and picture used. 

The font used for 'Suicide Squad' is bold and fun which then corresponds with the character name the joker used for the picture, it's been positioned towards the bottom however it's the first piece of text that catches your eye after looking at the picture. The mix of the green and white text look good on the page as it tells you what pieces of text are more important and what you should look at first by giving more detail afterwards. 

I might chose to use a picture of the character as my central image rather than a photo of the actor outside of her character, this is because it creates recognition between the products from my film campaign. I also like that there is a consistent colour scheme which uses very little colours, I will most likely use a colour scheme like this when creating my poster.
